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.
