i dont know wish i know so i could help
What else can I help you with?
What chlorophyll a and b absorb?
Chlorophyll a primarily absorbs blue and red light wavelengths, while chlorophyll b absorbs blue and some green light wavelengths. Together, they work to capture sunlight energy for photosynthesis in plants.
Light is absorbed by piments list four pigments?
Chlorophyll a: absorbs red and blue light, crucial for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll b: absorbs blue and orange light, complements chlorophyll a. Carotenoids: absorb blue-green light, provide yellow, orange, and red colors. Anthocyanins: absorb green, blue, and UV light, responsible for red, blue, and purple hues in plants.
What light does chlorophyll a absorb?
Chlorophyll absorbs the blue-violet prtion of the electromagnetic spectrum and reflects green
Do plants absorb or reflect green light?
YES. Plants absorb AND reflect green light. Leaves are green due to a compound called chlorophyll. The light absorbed by chlorophyll is used to power photosynthesis, the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. On a relative basis, chlorophyll absorbs more blue and red light, compared to green light; and therefore reflects less red and blue light. As a result, there is more green light than red or blue light reflected, so the chlorophyll containing part of the plant appears green. It is commonly thought that chlorophyll does not absorb green light, but that is a fallacy. A dark green leaf can absorb 90% of the green light impinging on it. In contrast, 95% of the red and blue light may be absorbed.
Does chlorophyll a absorb mostly orange red and violet blue light?
yes..
Which parts of the spectrum does chlorophyll absorb best?
blue and red light OR anything with red in it
Does Chlorophyll absorb green wavelengths?
Chlorophyll primarily absorbs blue and red wavelengths of light for photosynthesis, while reflecting green wavelengths, which is why plants appear green. Some chlorophyll types can absorb a small amount of green light, but the efficiency is much lower compared to blue and red light absorption.
A pigment that absorbs primarily red and blue photons of light for photosynthesis is called?
Chlorophylls are pant pigments that absorb red and blue light. Carotenoids absorb blue-green light blue-green light. Green and yellow light are not effectively absorbed by photosynthetic pigments in plants, and this is why plants appear green.
What pigments absorb light energy during Photosynthesis?
chlorophylls a and b absorb blue and green light.
Do chlorophyll molecules absorb blue and red light for use in photosynthesis?
it mainly uses potato for energy
What wavelengths of light do chlorophyll b pigments readily absorb?
Chlorophyll b pigments readily absorb light in the blue and red regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Specifically, they absorb light most efficiently in the blue wavelengths around 450-500 nm and in the red wavelengths around 640-680 nm. These absorbed wavelengths of light drive the process of photosynthesis by exciting electrons in the pigment molecules.
Chlorophyll reflects which color of light?
Chlorophyll primarily reflects green light, which is why most plants appear green to our eyes. This occurs because chlorophyll absorbs light in the red and blue wavelengths for photosynthesis, leaving green light to be reflected.
