Three of the same species of plant are each grown under a different colored light for the same amount of time. Plant A is grown under blue light, Plant B is grown under green light, and Plant C is grown under orange light. Assuming the plants use only chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b for photosynthesis, what would be the predicted order of the plants from most growth to least growth

Respuesta :

Answer:

A C B

Explanation:

Chlorophyll pigments absorb most of the light in the blue and red regions. Blue-violet region marks the peak absorption by chlorophyll a while chlorophyll b shows peak absorption in red blue light. Green colored light is not absorbed by chlorophyll a and b. Light absorption by chlorophyll is essential for the light-dependent phase of photosynthesis. Therefore the plant A grown under blue light will show maximum growth and plant B kept under green light would show minimum growth.
