What wavelengths of light does chorophyll a absorb best?
430 nm and 662nm. novanet
Do plants grow taller in green light or white light?
All the colours of the rainbow have different wavelengths. For example, violet has short wavelengths, while red has long wavelengths. Visible light appears as white light because it is a mixture of all the colours. Also, chlorophyll is the principal pigment involved in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs all the different coloured wavelengths, but leaves green as the colour it reflects and as the colour we see.Therefore, white light is best to grow plants under because green light doesn't do much of anything for photosynthesis.
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.
Why are violet-to-blue and red photons the most effective at driving photosynthesis?
Red light has the longest wavelength and the lowest energy. The chlorophyll molecules of chloroplasts absorb the red light the best because of the longer wavelength.
What wavelength is the most beneficial for plant growth?
Red and Blue light are best for plant growth because those two wavelengths are what chlorophyll respond to. .............if this is tru y not use a black light................it emits purple light
What chlorophyll a and b absorb?
Chlorophyll a and b absorb BLUE-VIOLET and RED wavelengths of light best.
What wavelenths of light does chlorophyll a absorb best?
430 nm
What wavelengths of light does chorophyll a absorb best?
430 nm and 662nm. novanet
Where is chlorophyll found and what types of light will it absorb best?
For the first questions, chlorophyll is in plants. That's what makes them green
What wavelength of light does chlorophyll a reflect?
There are 2 different types of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll "a" absorbs light in the violet and red regions of the visible spectrum while chlorophyll "b" absorbs light in the blue and red regions of the visible spectrum.
Which parts of the spectrum does chlorophyll absorb best?
blue and red light OR anything with red in it
What absorbs wavelengths of light different from those absorbed by chlorophyll?
Higher wavelenghs of the visible light spectrum are best absorbed by chlorophyll.
What color light does the chlorophyll in plants absorb best?
chlorophyll reflects green in color because it absorbs red color than any other at higher wavelengths. as green is the complimentary color of red it appears green in color
How does a colored leaf make food?
The chloroplasts, containing the pigment chlorophyll, make food for the whole plant by the process of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs blue and red wavelengths of light best, but totally reflects green wavelengths, thus it is colored green.

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.
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
