Question
Chapter 8.3, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To relate: The absorption spectrum of a pigment to its color.
Introduction: Aplant is a multicellular organism in the kingdom Plantae. It uses photosynthesis to make their own food. The photosynthesis is a process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy.

Phycocyanin is blue-green. What color of light does it absorb?
For each pigment below tell me which colors and ranges of wavelengths it absorbs the most and which areas of the visible spectrum it absorbs the least. Some might have 2 peaks of high absorption.
