1. Which color is on the short side of the rainbow? 2. Which color is on the long side? 3. Which color is about in the middle? 4. Put these colors in the rainbow diagram above. (The long side of the rainbow is the longer wavelength.) 5. Which color do you see when you look at plants? (The color that you see is the color that plants do not use in photosynthesis.) 6. Which two primary colors do you not see when looking at a plant? (These are the two wavelengths of energy that plants mostly use for photosynthesis, so they are absorbed by the plant rather than reflected back.

Question
Photosynthesis and Respiration
123
White light (visible light) is made of different wavelengths of energy
(different colors). You can remember where the various colors occur in the
visible light spectrum by recalling the image of a rainbow in your mind.
Long Side (long waves)
zinbow is the
light spectrum.
Short Side (short waves)
? QUESTION
1. Which color is on the short side of the rainbow?
2. Which color is on the long side?
3. Which color is about in the middle?
4. Put these colors in the rainbow diagram above. (The long side of the
rainbow is the longer wavelength.)
5. Which color do you see when you look at plants? (The color that you
see is the color that plants do not use in photosynthesis.)
6. Which two primary colors do you not see when looking at a plant?
(These are the two wavelengths of energy that plants mostly use for
photosynthesis, so they are absorbed by the plant rather than

There is much more to photosynthesis than is covered in this Exercise.
You will have to get those details from lecture or your textbook.
