the regions of spectrum of light where maximum rate of photosynthesis take place
Answers
Answer:
Maximum photosynthesis occurs in red light. Light is absorbed by photosystem II that is membrane-bound. It ab to
sorbs infrared and red light. On the other hand, blue light is absorbed by chlorophyll and carotenoids but some carotenoids are not found in chloroplasts.
Explanation:
Response. Maximum absorption of light takes place in blue region. Whereas maximum rate of photosynthesis occurs in red region of light. If a plant is given monochromatic light ( single colour of light , it shows maximum absorption of blue light but shows maximum rate of photosynthesis in red light.
Minimum photosynthesis takes place in the green light. Minimum absorption of chlorophyll a occurs in the green region because plants themselves are green due to the pigment Chlorophyll.
