Why do plants grow faster in blue light?
it grows faster
What light makes plants grow faster?
Sunlight.
Under which color light will plants grow fastest?
Blue and purple light.
Do plants grow faster certain colors of light?
Yes they do, certain colors provide certain vitamins/minerals and only sunlight has all the vitamins/minerals needed. Plants get vitamins and minerals from soil, not sunlight. Plants grow slowest under green light because chlorophyll reflects green light (which is why they look green). Plants grow faster under red or blue light. Sunlight is a mixture of red, green and blue light. Plants do get vitamin D from the sun, as do people. Plants do not generate vitamin D from sunlight. Vitamin D is generated in the skin of vertebrates and is necessary for maintaining the bones. The vitamins that plants cannot gather from the soil are generated using a number of different methods. Plants do not require vitamin D.
What light grows plants faster blue artificial light or red artificial light?
If you use blue light in the day and red light at night it should grow twice as fast but, I would use red.
How fast does a ice cubes melts under different color light bulbs?
i think that the blue will melt it faster becuase blue is the hottest color
What coloured light do plants grow best under?
Plants grow best under red light and blue is good to im not sure about yellow mabe if your doing a science fair test on this use these colours brown,green,clear,red and blue i know because i did my test on this
Why are there few blue-colored plants?
The light you see outside does not look like it, but it contains all of the colors of the rainbow.so plants take in the frequency of which it takes in.
Do plant grow faster under certain colors of light?
Plants, in fact, do grow faster under certain colors of light. The reason for this is that chloroplasts can only absorb certain wavelengths of light because of the pigments they contain. There are 2 photosystems in plants called photosystem I and II. PS I absorbs light on the wavelength of 700nm while PS II absorbs 680nm because of their utilization of chlorophyll A and B. These two frequencies are known as the peak absorption points because they are the wavelength at which light is most strongly absorbed. Different forms of chlorophyll and other photosynthetic pigments absorb other frequencies of light, but PS I and PS II are what is used for synthesizing ATP and reducing power which plants use to grow. The visible spectrum of light is between 380-750nm for humans. Therefore PS I and II require red light to perform photosynthesis. As stated before, however, there are other photosynthetic pigments present in plants and other phototrophic species such as bacteria and algae that absorb other pigments. An example of this is the carotenoid pigment that absorbs primarily blue light as do chlorophyll A and B. Blue light contains more energy than red light but for PS I and II and plant growth both are needed. Studies in the 50's showed that the rate of photosynthesis increased under far-red and red light compared to other frequencies. Green plants will grow SLOWER or not at all under green light. Basically, green is the only brand of light that the plant's chloroplasts doesn't use. That is why it is the only color reflected from the leaf, and is what we see.
What Makes Some Plants Blue?
Anthocyanin is a pigment in some plants (like blueberries) that absorbs all other colors of light in the light spectrum and reflects blue light.
What does a blue light give off to a plant?
blue light can kill plants because the light is too dark for plants to absorb. also, the plant cant absorb much light in blue light. last week, i tried an experiment and in 10 lessons at school, its died when it was covered in blue cellophane as light.
Does plants grow better in blue light or sun light?
In sunlight
