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.
Photosynthesis is the process in which plants make their own food using light energy from sunlight in the leaves of the plants. The equation of photosynthesis states that the combination of carbon dioxide, water, and light energy produces a carbohydrate (glucose) and oxygen.
6CO2 + 6H2O +light energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2.
From the equation, six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water produces one molecule of glucose.
Therefore, 24 molecules of carbon dioxide and 24 molecules of water would produce or yield 4 molecules of glucose.

The continental shelf is a gently sloping feature found at the edge of a continental landmass going seaward from the coast. Rivers that empty into the sea can produce currents that are strong enough to erode the material that builds the shelf. When this occurs channels or submarine canyons are formed. These canyons are deep and dark as no light can penetrate these regions. The canyons often lead out to sea towards the edge of the shelf.
