Question

A graph that plots the rate at which CO2, is converted to glucose versus the wavelength of light illuminating a leaf is
called
(A) an absorption spectrum
(B) an adsorption spectrum
(C) pigment kinetics
(D) an action spectrum​

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is A

Explanation:

because we know very well

Answer 2

The graph is called an action spectrum. (option D)

• The process by which green leaves of a plant absorb the illuminating sunlight and use the energy to manufacture Glucose with carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is called photosynthesis.
• The rate of photosynthesis in a plant can be measured by plotting the rate of formation of glucose from carbon dioxide (CO2) against the wavelength of light absorbed by the leaves. This gives us the action spectrum of the plant.
• It shows us the wavelength of light required by plants for photosynthesis and how it affects the overall biochemical reactions critical for plant growth.
