The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Phytochrome**: Phytochromes are photoreceptors in plants that play a crucial role in detecting light. They help plants sense the direction and quality of light, which is essential for their growth and development. 2. **Identifying Light Sensitivity**: Phytochromes are sensitive to specific wavelengths of light. The question asks which type of light they are sensitive to among the options provided: green light, blue light, red light, or red far-red light. 3. **Analyzing Light Spectrum**: Sunlight consists of a visible spectrum that includes various colors. Among these, red light and far-red light are particularly important for phytochrome sensitivity. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the understanding that phytochromes are specifically sensitive to red and far-red light, we can conclude that the correct answer to the question is that phytochrome in plants is sensitive to red and far-red light. ### Final Answer Phytochrome in plants is sensitive to red and far-red light. ---
