O 000 Plant chlorophyll chemicals will absorb, or take in, light wave energy in order to produce their own organic molecules used for cellular energy. Reflected light refers to those wavelengths of light that will "bounce off" of the chlorophyll and not be absorbed. A scientist runs an experiment in which only light waves measuring between 490 and 600 nm are hitting the plant. Select the answer that would explain what would happen based upon the data in the chart. Chlorophyll a would absorb high amounts of light energy, but chloroplyll b would be absorbing low amounts of energy. Neither chlorophyl a nor b would be absorbing very much, if any, light energy. Chlorophyl b would absorb high amounts of light energy, but chlorophyll a would be absorbing low amounts of energy. Both chlorophyl a and b would be absorbing high amounts of light.
