Textbook Question
Chapter 39.3, Problem 3CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Ø Plants detect the quality of their light environment by using blue-light photoreceptors and red-light-absorbing phytochromes. After reviewing Figure 10.10, suggest a reason why plants are so sensitive to these colors of light.

Please help asap
Please help this is hw and I want to know why I'm wrong
Why do many plants use pathways that detect light to regulate their flowering?
Selected Answer:
This allows plants to link flowering to temperature, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal
Answers:
This allows plants to link flowering to day length, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal
Flower petals carry out high levels of photosynthesis and require high light conditions
This allows plants to link flowering to temperature, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal
A minimum amount of light is always necessary for flowering
