What else can I help you with?
Are wavelengths used in photosynthesis primarily infrared and ultraviolet?
No, the wavelengths used in photosynthesis are primarily visible light, specifically blue and red wavelengths. These wavelengths are absorbed by pigments such as chlorophyll to power the process of photosynthesis. While infrared and ultraviolet light can also be absorbed by plants, their energy is not as efficiently utilized for photosynthesis.
What is the optimum wavelength of light absorbed by chlorophyll and why?
The optimum wavelength of chlorophyll is 430nm (in a light spectrum of 380nm-750nm going in 10 incements) We did a lab and it required us to determine the optimum wavelength of chlorophyll by testing the absorbance of light in 10nm increments from 380nm-750nm. Optimum wavelength is the wavelength of light that is absorbed best by a substance. So when we tested all the wavelngths 380-750 in 10 increments (380,390,400,410,420....) 430 had the highest absorbance. we used a Spec 20 machine to find the absorbance.
What color is the wave length of light used by chloroplast?
Main pigment is chlorophyll.They are gree in color.
How do different pigments colors affect the rate of photosynthesis?
The wavelength of a color is directly related to the rate of photosynthesis, with longer wavelengths leading to higher rates of photosynthesis.
Which form is carbon found in photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide is absorbed.
What wavelength of visible light is of least value in photosynthesis?
Green (~510nm) which is reflected by the plant and not absorbed at all
What wavelength of light is the least effective in driving photosynthesis?
Green light is the least effective in driving photosynthesis because chlorophyll pigments absorb more strongly in the blue and red regions of the spectrum. This results in green light being poorly absorbed and utilized for photosynthesis in plants.
Are wavelengths used in photosynthesis primarily infrared and ultraviolet?
No, the wavelengths used in photosynthesis are primarily visible light, specifically blue and red wavelengths. These wavelengths are absorbed by pigments such as chlorophyll to power the process of photosynthesis. While infrared and ultraviolet light can also be absorbed by plants, their energy is not as efficiently utilized for photosynthesis.
Is chlorophy nessasary for photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis occurs because of cholophyllEnergy should be absorbed to carry out photosynthesis. This energy is absorbed by chlorophyll.So they are essential
What thing is absorbed by chlorophyll during photosynthesis?
Light is absorbed during photosynthesis. (That's the meaning of photo!)
What color is absorbed at 450 nm?
At 450 nm, blue light is primarily absorbed. This wavelength falls within the blue region of the visible spectrum, and substances that absorb light at this wavelength often appear yellow or orange, as these colors are complementary to blue. For example, chlorophyll absorbs blue light effectively for photosynthesis, making plants appear green.

Compare the wavelength of the energy absorbed by the soil with the wavelength of the energy re-radiated by the soil?
yes
What is sunlight changed into when it is absorbed?
When sunlight is absorbed it is changed into heat. This is because of the wavelength taken to absorb it.
What color in the light spectrum is absorbed fastest in photosyntheis?
Blue light is absorbed the fastest in photosynthesis, as it has the most optimal energy level for driving the process of photosynthesis. Additionally, red light is also absorbed efficiently in photosynthesis.
What color wavelengths are absorbed during photosynthesis?
The green color is being absorbed
Is energy taken in photosynthesis?
Energy is absorbed by photosynthesis. This energy is stored in glucose
