Answer: The graph shows that chlorophyll a absorbs light principally around 420-450 nm and 650-680nm wavelengths
Explanation: Chlorophyll a is a pigment found in plants that traps light energy for use in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll a absorbs light mostly in the blue and orange-red wavelengths. This is shown in the graph, where the peaks are around the 400nm and 600nm wavelengths, corresponding to blue and red in visible light.
This absorption means the pigment is 'excited' by this light, sending into a higher state if energy which provides energy for the reactions of photosynthesis.
The compounds present in plants that, in a way, assist in the absorption of light during the process of photosynthesis, are accessory pigments. As their name suggests, they act as helpers or assist chlorophyll in absorption of light. These may be chlorophyll variants or other classes.
<span>Of the 118 elements that have been discovered, 90 of them indisputably occur in nature. There is disagreement over whether four more or eight more occur naturally as a result of radioactive decay of other natural elements. The answer is, therefore, 94 or 98.</span>
