How does light influence plant libe?
Answers
Answer:
Plants use sunlight to make energy. The process by which they do this is called photosynthesis. Chlorophyll in the plant is the pigment that absorbs light. Light is made up of three different colors: red, blue and green. The reason that green plants appear that color is that they reflect that color in the light spectrum. In other words, the chlorophyll in the plant absorbs the red and blue light much more readily than the green light.
Green light can have negative effects on plants.

Red Vs. Green
Red and green light affect plants differently.
Experiments have been recorded showing the difference between plants grown under red and green lights, respectively. A simple demonstration of this was at the 2004 California State Fair, where Nichele R. Lee presented a project with the title: "What Color Light Helps Plants Grow?" The conclusion was that the red light grew the stronger plants, though it was noted that the green light had plants that germinated more quickly.
Differences in Light Experiments with Plants at Different Stages
A study of the effects of red and green light on plants was conducted by Lewis H. Flint and Charles F. Moreland at Louisiana State University. The pair studied and compared plant growth with red and green lights, but specifically simple leaf development of intact and decapitated bean plants. Decapitating the bean plants reversed some of the effects the different colors of light were having on the plants.
Different Colors, Different Growth Benefits
Different colors of light, specifically red and blue, have different effects on plant growth.
Though green light has the least benefit to plants, red and blue light can have different but complementary effects on plant growth. The Arizona Master Gardener Manual, which was produced by the Cooperative Extension of the University of Arizona's College of Agriculture, discusses some of the effects. Blue light is helpful for growing leaves on plants. Red light, when mixed with blue, can assist with the flowering portion of a plant's growth.
Green Light Can Be Harmful
Explanation:
Hi mate.......❣️❣️
It is simple
➡️light is an essential part of photosynthesis process..........❣️❣️
➡️Without light photosynthesis can't happen.........❣️❣️
➡️And the thing you are asking is ❣️❣️......photoperiod.......❣️❣️
➡️Photoperiod refers to the time that a plant or animal is exposed to light in a 24-hour period.....❣️❣️
➡️Flowering in plants depends on the type of light they are getting....❣️❣️
