From which region does chlorophylla absorb the light?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Chlorophyll a**: Chlorophyll a is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis in higher plants. It plays a crucial role in capturing light energy. 2. **Observation Spectra**: To determine the regions of light that chlorophyll a absorbs, we refer to the absorption spectra of chlorophyll. This spectrum shows how different wavelengths of light are absorbed by the pigment. 3. **Regions of Light Absorption**: - **Red Region**: Chlorophyll a absorbs light effectively in the red region of the spectrum. This region corresponds to longer wavelengths of light. ...
