Which regions of the visible spectrum in which chlorophyll absorbed light very well?

Chlorophyll absorbs purple/blue light really well and orange/red light too. It doesnt absorb green light very well and refects most of ot, making plants appear green to us. Chlorophyll absorbs best in the 600-750 nm (nanometer) range


What absorbs wavelengths of light different from those absorbed by chlorophyll?

Higher wavelenghs of the visible light spectrum are best absorbed by chlorophyll.


The absorption spectrum for chlorophyll reveals that it?

Chlorophylls absorb light most strongly in the red and violet portions of the spectrum. Green light is poorly absorbed so when white light (which contains the entire visible spectrum) shines on leaves, green rays are transmitted and reflected giving leaves their green color. The similarity of the action spectrum of photosynthesis and the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll tells us that chlorophylls are the most important pigments in the process.


Why is autumn the best season for xanthophyll?

Chlorophyll is not present in high amounts during the fall. The leaves do not have a mask of chlorophyll allowing the xanthophyll to absorb light that is not captured by chlorophyll. This lets the xanthophyll give a yellow color to the leaves in the fall.


Chlorophyll absorbs every color of light except this?

Chlorophyll absorbs every color of the sunlight except for green. It is green and it cannot absorb its own color.
