Title: Absorption Spectrum In Photosynthesis
Words: 1645
Abstract
Photosynthesis is the turning of light into starch that is usable food for plants. Light is either a wave or particle, and has varying wavelengths of varying energy. Thus it would be logical to conclude that the light with the highest energy would result in the most photosynthesis to occur generating the most food. However, during experiments performed, this hypothesis was not supported. In fact, the tested light with the lowest energy apparently caused the most photosynthesis to occur in the elodea plant. Placing filters over lights tested this and then shining them on submerged elodea plants. The oxygen bubbles were then counted. The pigments of the plants, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotene, and xanthophylls, were also tested separately to determine if any of thes ...
