The question is in regard to leafs, as my resident teenager just had the same homework. It is poorly worded, as it should be asking, "Why does a leaf exhibit a low oxygen flow when illuminated only by green light" ...or something along those lines.
In simple terms, chlorophyll feeds the plant by converting light and CO2 into 'food' and O2. A lack of oxygen means that this chemical reaction isn't occurring. Why? A lack of light. The chlorophyll is green because it primarily reflects green and yellow light, meaning that it absorbs (and uses) the reds and blues. Shining a green light on a plant is almost the same as not shining any light on it.
This is because cholorphyll in plants gives the leaf its colour. The cholorophyll can't absorb oxygen which will cause a reduction in the oxygen flow and therefore the cholorophyll are green and reflect off green light!
The pigment found in chlorophyll absorb 2 primary colors and reflect one primary color, it absorbs blue/violet light and red light while reflect green light.
Because green plants reflect green light (that is why the look green) and therefore can not use its energy.
The stomata would be narrower, thus osmosis would occur less, thus photosynthesis would be less. The stomatal pore will become narrower. Gaseous exchange to and fro stomata will be reduced. This will affect the rate of photosynthesis in green plants.
Photosynthesis is the single most important function in all of living things. An increased rate of photosynthesis will allow the process to be not as effective.
Photosynthesis is performed in two stages:Light reactions (or light-dependent reactions): Energy from sunlight is required.Dark reactions (or light-independent reactions): No sunlight is required. However, energy formed by the light-dependent reactions is needed.
State the changed and observed variable. E.g.: the higher the intensity of the light, the higher the rate of photosynthesis. Heehee I'm pretty certain I'm correct. And I'm 12! Haha
supposedly if plants carried out photosynthesis and respiration at the same rate, then the plant would have no excess sugars (energy)to last them the night... remembering that photosynthesis would only work in daylight hours. Thus, the plant would starve to death basically every night and there would be no life on the earth. All the plant eaters would die making the meat eaters die with them and then there would be no CO2, which is required in photosynthesis... yeah it would be chaotic. i would do a little more research if i were you to make sure im right :)
blue light
If white light is a mixture of several wavelengths of colors and the chlorophyll in green leaves absorb energies from all visible light except green, then exposing white light to a green plants will result in the fastest rate of photosynthesis, followed by blue or red.
Light intensity and the rate of photosynthesis relate to the position of the sun in a few ways. The higher the sun the faster the rate of photosynthesis.
Higher light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis and vice versa.more intense light means more energy in the light, so the chloroplasts get more energy from light, making photosynthesis go faster
It increases the rate of photosynthesis.
The relationship between light intensity and photosynthetic rate is that if the intensity of the light is high then the rate of photosynthesis will increase. However the rate of photosynthesis will only increase to an extent after intensity of light reaches a certain point photosynthesis rate will stay still.
green
By changing the light intensity the rate of photosynthesis will either increase or decrease because it is one of the factors that affects photosynthesis. If you increase the light intensity the rate increases but if you decrease the light intensity the rate decreases.
Low light intensity lowers the rate of photosynthesis, Normal sunlight is good for a normal rate of photosynthesis, Very high intensity bleaches (destruction) the chlorophyll
Green. Only because green is the color appearance and sunlight is only absorbed by the color showing.
It decreases. Photosynthesis depends on the availability of light.
As light intensity increases then the rate of photosynthesis increases until a point is reached when the rate levels off. Beyond this point is called the light saturation point of photosynthesis.
