Chapter 13, Problem 18RQ
Summary Introduction

To review:

The ways by which the nature of light-absorbing pigments is denoted by an action spectrum

Given:

The graph of rate of photosynthesis versus wavelength of light gives the action spectrum.

Introduction:

Action spectrum is a graph plottedthatindicates the photosynthesis rate at a specific wavelength of light. It was first studied by T. W. Engelmann on filamentous green algae. On the other hand, absorption spectrum refers to the specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by each pigment.
