To answer the questions based on the provided hints and context, let's consider each question individually:
Question 1
Which chlorophyll is going to appear more in the green-to-blue-green range to our eyes? Based on the hint that suggests looking at the valleys in the absorbance lines for chlorophyll a and b, chlorophyll b typically has a wider "valley" spanning a greater range in this color range compared to chlorophyll a, which means it absorbs more in the green to blue-green spectrum.
Response: chlorophyll b
Question 2
Which chlorophyll has a greater absorbance peak for the dark orange (or orange-red) light wavelength? According to the hint to compare the peaks for chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b in the dark orange or orange-red range, chlorophyll a usually exhibits a higher peak in this region compared to chlorophyll b.
Response: chlorophyll a
Question 3
Which of the colors absorbed by chlorophyll b has the greatest absorbance? To identify the color with the greatest absorbance for chlorophyll b, we look for the highest peak on the red line for chlorophyll b. Typically, chlorophyll b has its greatest absorbance in the blue range.
Response: blue
In summary,
- chlorophyll b
- chlorophyll a
- blue
