proteins that reflect red light

Answer 1

The adaptation that is likely to help marine plants deal with the low light conditions in marine environments is **proteins that absorb green light**. Marine plants often develop specific pigments that can capture various wavelengths of light, including green light, which is less available compared to blue and red light underwater. This adaptation allows them to maximize their ability to photosynthesize in deeper or murky waters where light penetration is limited.
