 No. Different forms of phytochrome absorb different wavelengths of light. Different forms of phytochrome are scattered throughout the plant. This allows the plant to perceive different intensities, wavelengths, and quality of light. Hope that helped!

Chlorophyll absorbs all colors of light except?

Green, the reason chlorophyll is known as a green pigment is because it absorbs all wavelengths of light but reflects green light.


Why does a dandelion appear yellow in white light?

The pigment in the flower structure absorb all wavelengths of light except for yellow.


1 State an advantage having more than one type of photosynthetic pigment gives a plant?

pigment is any substance that absorbs light. The color of the pigment comes from the wavelengths of light reflected (in other words, those not absorbed). Chlorophyll, the green pigment common to all photosynthetic cells, absorbs all wavelengths of visible light except green, which it reflects to be detected by our eyes. Black pigments absorb all of the wavelengths that strike them. White pigments/lighter colors reflect all or almost all of the energy striking them. Pigments have their own characteristic absorption spectra, the absorption pattern of a given pigment. the Light Dependent Processes (Light Reactions) light strikes chlorophyll a in such a way as to excite electrons to a higher energy state. BTW this is a yahoo answers response so give the other person credit. :)


Does chlorophyll absorb red and purple light?

it would look red because the light would reflect on the grass ddddddddddddddduhhhh lol jk


Which color pigment will travel the farthest?

In a perfect vacuum, all wavelengths travel the same distance. In atmosphere, longer wavelengths (red) travel further than shorter wavelengths (blue) due to a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. That is why the sky is blue, and the setting sun is red. Similarly, in interstellar space (when we view light from distant stars), shorter wavelengths (blue) do not travel as far as longer wavelengths (red) due to a phenomenon called interstellar extinction. See the Related Links below for Wikipedia articles on Rayleigh scattering and interstellar extinction.

What color are objects that absorb all colors that reflects little light?

Black objects absorb all or most of the visible wavelengths of light, whereas white objects reflect all wavelengths. When all visible wavelengths (violet to red) enter the eye in equal proportions, the color is perceived as white. When no wavelengths reach the eye, the color is perceived as black. Every other color is a mixture of this continuum of wavelengths.
