The chemical reactions associated with photosynthesis can be summarized with the following chemical equation: 6CO2 + 12H2O + energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O

Question

Table 1 lists wavelength ranges for visible light and the color frequently associated with each range.

Figure 1 shows the relative absorption of light by chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b versus the wavelength of light from 400 nm to 750 nm.

Figure 2 shows the average rate of photosynthesis at various wavelengths as a percent of the average rate of photosynthesis at 670 nm.

Based on Table 1 and Figure 1, which color of light is associated with the wavelength of light that results in the greatest absorption by chlorophyll b?

Answer 1

Question 1: Based on Table 1 and Figure 1, which color of light is associated with the wavelength of light that results in the greatest absorption by chlorophyll b?

The color of light that is associated with the wavelength that results in the greatest absorption by chlorophyll b is Blue. Chlorophyll b primarily absorbs light in the blue wavelength range (around 450-500 nm), which corresponds to the color blue.
