Summary Introduction

To identify: The color of light which is the least effective one for photosynthesis.

Introduction:

Through a process called photosynthesis plants or phototrophs that need light to make food can transform light energy into chemical energy. Energy can be stored chemically in the form of sugars. Carbon dioxide and water are utilized to form sugar. The chloroplast is a cellular organelle where photosynthesis occurs. The chlorophyll in these organelles is what gives the leaves their characteristic shade of green.
