Plants use the red and blue light from the visible light spectrum; these are captured in the wavelengths between 440 and 660 nanometres. Green light is reflected, giving plants their green colour. Day length also plays an important factor in the effectiveness of photosynthesis.
Since red is the most abundant colour in visible light, then it could be referred to as the "most useful" since it is the one used most.
Bear in mind that photosynthesis is not the only process involving plants and light, since insect pollinated flowering plants (angiosperms) use bright colours to attract insects and other animals, in which case, light is required in many forms, not only visible, but some ultraviolet, since several insects see by means of ultraviolet light.
What else can I help you with?
What colors are used in the visible light spectrum during photosynthesis?
The colors used in the visible light spectrum during photosynthesis are primarily blue and red. These colors are absorbed by chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy used by the plant to carry out photosynthesis. Green light is not absorbed well and is reflected, giving plants their green color.
What light wave lengths are reflected in chlorophyll?
Green light is reflected. Red and blue light are absorbed.
True or false When light hits a plant all of the wavelengths of light are absorbed by chlorophyll?
No. There are only certain wavelengths of light that plants can use for photosynthesis.Plants have trouble using green light because it is reflected by the chlorophyll pigment (that is why leaves look green).
Which color of light is used most in photosynthesis?
Red color light spectrumRed-orange and blue-violetRed and blueGreen is reflected but all other colors are absorbed during phoyosynthesis.
Which single colour can plants use most successfully?
Plants most successfully use red and blue light for photosynthesis. These colors are absorbed most efficiently by chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy in plants. Green light is not as effective because it is reflected by chlorophyll.
How does light energize a chlorophyll a molecule?
Light is absorbed by the chlorophyll.
What colors are used in the visible light spectrum during photosynthesis?
The colors used in the visible light spectrum during photosynthesis are primarily blue and red. These colors are absorbed by chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy used by the plant to carry out photosynthesis. Green light is not absorbed well and is reflected, giving plants their green color.
What does light do to Chlorophyll?
The light is absorbed by the chlorophyll. The light is then used to excite electrons.
Which reion ofhe visible spectrum is not absorbed well by chlorophyll?
I'm thinking it must be the green region. That's probably why plants look green to me, after their chlorophyll has absorbed all the other colors of light.
Where in a cell is light absorbed?
Light is primarily absorbed by pigments such as chlorophyll located in the chloroplasts of plant cells during the process of photosynthesis. In animal cells, light may be absorbed by specialized light-sensitive molecules such as rhodopsin in the photoreceptor cells of the eye.
What color(s) of light do plants use?
Plants primarily use red and blue light for photosynthesis. These colors are most efficiently absorbed by chlorophyll, the pigment that helps plants convert light into energy. Green light, on the other hand, is reflected and not used as effectively by plants.
What pigment reflects orange yellow and red and absorbs the other colors to provide energy for photosynthesis?
The pigment that reflects orange, yellow, and red wavelengths while absorbing other colors for photosynthesis is called carotenoids. Carotenoids play a crucial role in assisting chlorophyll in capturing light energy for the process of photosynthesis.
What light wave lengths are reflected in chlorophyll?
Green light is reflected. Red and blue light are absorbed.
True or false When light hits a plant all of the wavelengths of light are absorbed by chlorophyll?
No. There are only certain wavelengths of light that plants can use for photosynthesis.Plants have trouble using green light because it is reflected by the chlorophyll pigment (that is why leaves look green).
Does chlorophyll absorb or transmit green light?
Chlorophyll primarily absorbs red and blue light, while green light is not as readily absorbed and is often reflected or transmitted. This is why plants appear green to our eyes, as the green light is not absorbed but instead reflected, giving leaves their characteristic color.
Where is light absorbed?
Chlorophyll, for Photosynthesis; and the Retina, for Vision.
What happens to the light that is absorbed by the chlorophyll?
I don know
