What functions do carotenoids have in plants?
i asked the question to u and u are again asking the same question to me.............
Why is there chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll is necessary in photosynthesis, because: 1. it absorbs the light necessary for photosynthesis mostly the blue and red light but poorly in green light because of electromagnetic spectrm 2. gives the leaves it green color
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.
What is the relationship between chlorophyll and chloroplasts?
Yes chlorophyll effect the color of the plant, the wavelengths of light that they absorb do not reflect the color that they emit out. Chlorophyll resist absorbance of wavelengths between about 530nm and570nm, which, if you look on the electromagnetic spectrum, is the range for green light.
What pigment traps the energy for photosynthesis?
There is a wide range of pigments that are used for photosynthesis. However, chlorophyll is responsible for using obtained light energy to excite electrons to move through the transport chain. Many pigments are only capable of transferring energy to chlorophyll, but they are important because they increase the spectrum of the frequencies of light of which the organism can use to photosynthesize. These pigments are called accessory pigments. For a more detailed explanation of these pigments, view the attached link below.
Can plants carry out photosynthesis using artificial light instead of sunlight?
Absolutely, yes they can. As long as the spectrum of the artificial light includes wavelengths that chlorophyll can absorb.
Figure 10.1 shows the absorption spectrum for chlorophyll a and the action spectrum for photosynthesis Why are they different?
The absorption spectrum shows which wave lengths are absorbed in each individual type of chlorophyll. The action spectrum shows which wavelengths of light are most effective for photosynthesis.
What wavelengths of visible light can plants use as a source of energy?
Most of the visible light spectrum except green wavelengths is absorbed by the chlorophyll molecule and is usable in photosynthesis as a source of energy for plants.

Is it true that the wavelengths of light most effective in photosynthesis are those in the green part of the visible spectrum?
No
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.
Why do artificial plant-growth lights have a light spectrum that favors the blue and red portions of the spectrum?
Chlorophyll, the main photosynthetic pigment of plants, absorbs mainly blue and red wavelengths from the Sun and reflects green ones, and it is this reflected light that gives plants their leafy color. Light can be split into red, green, and blue. Plants are green because they reflect the green portion of the spectrum, but consume the blue and red portions. Perhaps photosynthesis uses blue and red portions of spectrum, making a light spectrum that favors red and blue portions of the spectrum the best for plant growth.
Why does a leaf appear green when a person looks at it?
The chlorophyll pigments absorb all wavelengths of light except in the green spectrum, which it reflects.
Why is sunlight better than artificial light?
Sunlight contains all the frequencies of light required by the plant for photosynthesis; where as artificial light sources sometimes do not cover all parts of the spectrum.
The graph represents the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll The graph indicates that the energy used in photosynthesis is most likely obtained from which regions of the spectrum?
orange red and violet blue
Why are chloroplast green on the electro magnetic spectrum?
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll in them.Chlorophyll absorb red and blue color wavelengths making them appear green.
