The reason for the relatively low flow of oxygen when the plant is in green light only is because green light is not absorbed well by chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for absorbing light during photosynthesis. Therefore, the plant is not able to produce as much oxygen as it would under other colors of light, such as red or blue.
