An absorption spectrum of chlorophylls has:
Correct answer: A. Two peaks and one valley
- A. Two peaks and one valley
- B. One peak and one valley
- C. Two peaks and two valleys
- D. One peak and two valleys
Explanation
The most accurate representation of the absorption spectrum of chlorophylls is two peaks and one valley. The two peaks indicate strong absorption in the blue and red regions of the visible spectrum, while the single valley in the green region explains the green color of plants. This pattern reflects the efficiency of chlorophyll pigments in capturing light energy for photosynthesis while reflecting green light.
