Why is chlorophyll not able to capture the energy in green light​

Biology
1 answer:
mariarad [96]3 years ago
8 0

All plants have chlorophyll-a which blocks(reflects) green light and absorbs red and blue wavelengths. It seems like it would be more efficient for plants to absorb green light since energy is most powerful from the sun through green wavelengths. However, the chlorophyll-a in chloroplasts actually defend the plant from harmful damage of the TREMENDOUS amount of power from the sun transmitted in green wavelengths.

SO CHLOROPHYLL-A PROTECTS PLANTS FROM TOO MUCH ENERGY IN GREEN LIGHT.
