What color of sunlight plants use for photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Carotenoids are a group of accessory pigments which occur in all photosynthetic organisms. They contain about forty carbon atoms, often without oxygen atoms and are fat soluble. They are chemically unrelated to chlorophyll and consist of rings connected by long chains of carbon atoms. They absorb light maximally at wavelengths between 460 and 550 nm and are therefore yellow, red or orange in colour as they reflect the wavelengths in this part of the spectrum. Carotenoids are found in all photosynthetic organisms.

Answer 2

Plants don't need specific colors of light, and they can never use artificial light, as plants don't need light, but energy, so there is no problem which color of light it is, they just need sunlight, or else they'll get surprisingly tall in search of sunlight and then eventually die.

Answer 3

Plants use the red and blue wavelengths of sunlight for photosynthesis. These wavelengths are absorbed by chlorophyll, the pigment that captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy during photosynthesis. Other wavelengths, including green, are reflected, giving plants their green color.

Answer 4

all the colors except for green. Blue, violet and red are used the most in plants

Answer 5

Plants reflect visible green light, making them the green colour that we see; they in fact use the blue and green portions of the visible light spectrum during photosynthesis

Answer 6

Every color except green. Green is reflected off.

Answer 7

The red and the blue. At the high energy rare end and the low energy common ends of the light spectrum. Only the green is unused and, in turn, reflected by green plants for various reasons.
