An absorption spectrum illustrates the spectrum of light or electromagnetic radiation absorbed by the plant. This relies upon the molecular and cellular build-up of the plant. An action spectrum illustrates the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation most efficient for photosynthesis.
The action spectrum of photosynthesis monitors the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll. The absorption spectrum suggests that how much of each wavelength chlorophyll will captivate, while the action potential can indicate to us about the wavelengths that are most operative for photosynthesis.
Carbon dioxide is a gas consisting of one part carbon and two parts oxygen. It is one of the most important gases on the earth because plants use it to produce carbohydrates in a process called photosynthesis
