Consider plants that live in a forest's top, middle, or ground layer, as well as algae that live near the ocean's surface or in deep water. Would you expect the same photosynthetic pigments to be present in these different environments in the same species? Why do you think that is the case? What method would you use to test your hypothesis?

If you landed on a planet where all of the plants had purple leaves, what wavelengths of light would you expect to be least effective for photosynthesis? explain your reasoning.
Why is it necessary for cells to have a vacuole filled with water if they are photosynthetic cells? Plant cells that do no do photosynthesis, might store starch or pigments in their vacuoles. So, why is a reservoir of water essential for cells doing photosynthesis? In your answer, be sure to refer to the organelle that does photosynthesis.
