Why do certain colors of light support photosynthesis while others do not?

The pigments involved (e.g. chlorophyll in green plants, phycoerythrin in red algae) only absorb photons of certain energies and reflect others. This is due to the elements in the pigment molecule and how they are bound.

Are some wavelengths of light more important than others?
There are only certain wavelengths that can be accepted and absorbed by chlorophyll molecules. The rest are instead reflected - the colors that you can see. Without those wavelengths, you do not have photosynthesis.
How many colors can the human eyes see?
The human eye can see 7,000,000 colors, although certain colors can be irritating and cause headaches and vision issues. Others can induce calm states and relaxation.
Name of type of organisms that use photosynthesis?

Why does the color of a light affect a plants growth or does it?
The color of a light does affect a plants growth. Plants absorb certain colors of light better than others, and, essentially, the more light a plant can absorb, the more it can grow.
Transparent object that allows one or more colors through but absorbs others?
You're probably thinking of a filter, lens or gel. All of these can be used to unify the color of light which passes through them, allowing certain frequencies (or colors) through while blocking others as they are emitted from the source (ie a bulb) or before being picked up (like by a camera lense)AnswerI believe the answer is Filter.

Are certain colors more water soluble then others?
Yes, they are. You can do a chromatogram and find out for yourself. The color that rises to the top faster is the most soluble.
Does everybody perceive color the same way?
Many people have a degree of color-blindness. They are unable to distinguish certain colors or shades of colors from others. Some people see only in 'black and white.'
Can dog see like human?
Yes but they only see certain colors, such as: Gray, blue, red, white, black, orange, brown, yellow, and green. ---- Canines will see some colors, but others will simply fade into grayscale. The above colors, including gray, black, and white are part of the grayscale "spectrum". Red, yellow, and orange are similar, so those colors would be visible. The others, I'm not sure about.
What is color preference?
Some artists prefer certain colors over others and may use them more often in their work. Another color preference is a persons favorite color.
Why do you see certain objects as certain colors?
it depends on what you are talking about. If you are talking about relating certain shapes, letters or months to colors, then you most likely have synesthesia. If you are talking about physical colors, such as a pink shirt or a brown building, it is because of the reflection of light. Sunlight and most artificial lights are white, in other words, every color in the rainbow combined. Certain natural ad artificial dyes will reflect certain shades of that rainbow, and absorb the others. What we see is the reflection. So if a pair of jeans appears to be blue, then what you are looking at is the reflection of the color blue from the light emmited from whatever luminescent thing is shining upon it.
Is noctiluca scintillans an algae?
No, it's heterotroph (eats others). Does not do photosynthesis.
Can the rainbow change colors?
No. All the colors that the eye can see are there, so there are no others to change to.
