The action spectrum of photosynthesis shows a high light absorption for violet/blue and orange/red and a low absorption for green/yellow. If we were to set up an experiment where narrow bands of unicolored light were shown on an aquatic plant such as Elodea, and we counted the number of bubbles of oxygen produced as an indicator of photosynthetic rate, how would the graph appear? just like the action spectrum with peaks at violet/blue and orange/red and a trough at yellow/green exactly inverted from the action spectrum with a peak for yellow/green perfectly flat because many wavelengths are used by chlorophyll a descending line because ultraviolet light has more energy than infrared There is no way to guess without actually running the experiment.

a. just like the action spectrum with peaks at violet/blue and orange/red and a trough at yellow/green

When an electron has been excited to a higher energy state, it can then drop back to the original level, re-emitting the light as fluorescence. When chlorophyll is extracted in solution, and a bright red or blue light is shown on it, the chlorophyll fluoresces brightly. However, when the chlorophyll is packaged inside chloroplasts and the red or blue light is turned on, there is no fluorescence. This most likely indicates that the red and blue light waves are reflected by the chlorophyll membrane. chlorophyll in solution is a different molecule than chlorophyll in a chloroplast. excited electrons are transferred to electron acceptors in the chloroplast. fluorescence does not work in living cells. green light must be used to make living cells fluoresce.

c. excited electrons are transferred to electron acceptors in the chloroplast.

Protons (H+) accumulate in the thylakoid space during electron transport between photosystems II and I. Which of the following describes what will happen to these protons next? The protons will reenter the electron transport chain and be used to generate water. The protons will be used to oxidize NADPH to NADH, generating ATP in the process. The protons will diffuse out of the lipid layer surrounding the thylakoid and exit the plant during gas exchange.
