To assess photosynthesis, we relied heavily on a spectrophotometer to measure the color intensity of DCPIP in our solution. We set the spectrophotometer at wavelengths in the visible spectrum. What is the approximate wavelength range (in nm) for the visible spectrum? For example, the ultraviolet spectrum wavelength range is approximately 10-400 nm
Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants. Which of the following
statements can be implied regarding chlorophyll?
O Chlorophyll does not absorb in the UV region.
O Chlorophyll is made up of only C- H, C- C, C- N and C-O single bonds.
O Chlorophyll uses the blue and red colors for photosynthesis.
O Chlorophyll uses the green color for photosynthesis.
Why do the reaction centers have different pigments rather than only the chlorophyls?
quantitatively increasing the absorption photons
narrowing coverage of the visible spectrum light
increasing coverage of the visible spectrum light
arranging light-harvesting complexe
compensating for the high density of chlorophyll
