Question

The rate of photosynthesis will be maximum in
1.Sunlight
2.Red Light
3.Both Sunlight & Red Light
4.Blue Light
Give explanation for your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Sunlight is the right answer

Answer 2

Answer:

red light

Explanation:

Visible portions of radiation are absorbed by photosynthetic pigments. Typically, in blue and red light, plants exhibit a high rate of photosynthesis. In red light, maximum photosynthesis was observed, rather than in blue light. The minimal effect was observed in green light.

Photosystem II, which is membrane-bound, absorbs light. For blue light, maximum absorption is observed. Thus, in red light, full photosynthesis occurs.
