The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a differs from the actionspectrum of photosynthesis. Explain this observation.
What is the significance that the combined absorption spectra of chlorophylls a and b roughly match the action spectrum of photosynthesis? Wouldphotosynthesis be more efficient if their individual absorption spectra coincided exactly?
This is an absorption spectrum of plant leaf extract. Why does a plant contain an accessory pigment like phycoerythrin in addition to chlorophyll? In other words, what is the benefit to the plant?
