All plants contain chlorophyll a. In addition, many plants contain other types of chlorophylls and accessory pigments. Suppose a new agricultural technology is developed in which accessory pigments are somehow embedded or injected into crops that naturally have only chlorophyll a. Explain the food production advantage that these plants could hypothetically provide if they could utilize many of these pigments rather than just one type of chlorophyll

Do you know what malt is? It is germinated cereal grain that has been dried. The idea is to let a seed germinate for it to start producing enzymescalled amylases. To grow, a hydratedseed will produce amylases to break down its starch(energy reserve). When the plant has a little green shoot, it will run out of starch,start doing photosynthesis, and get rid of its amylaseproteins. So, as soon as germinated grains show little white sprouts, the seeds are dried to stop the germination (before the amylases are degradedthe seeds). “Malting” is really about trying to purify amylases fromseeds. Theseextractedamylasescan then be used for other things: i.e. by brewers to break down the starch of other grains into maltose (!!) so that yeast can ferment more easily, by bakers to change the properties of flour and make things like bagels; itcan even be added tomilkshakes (“malts”). Biochemistry is everywhere....so cool! There is even a scene in Fightclub where...no, just kidding, they don’t make…
Photosynthesis is defined as the chemical process, wherein carbon dioxide in the presence of water and radiant energy gets converted to glucose (chemical energy), giving out oxygen as byproducts. In the equation, the combining reactants and resulting products are expressed along with their respective numbers of molecules. Putting this in a simplified formula, the following equation represents this process. CO2 + H2O + Light energy → C6H12O6 + O2 Considering this equation, how plant lovers (plantitos and plantitas) able to cultivate their plants?
