Students have asked these similar questions
What is the significance that the combined absorption spectra of chlorophylls a and b roughly match the action spectrum of photosynthesis? Wouldphotosynthesis be more efficient if their individual absorption spectra coincided exactly?
What does this reveal about the role of the carbon dioxide in photosynthesis?
(the solution with chara is green so it is neutral while the btb solution is yellow so it is acidic )
Describe the effect of photooxidation on the redox reactions summarized in the Z-scheme.
