Solar-induced fluorescence can be used to infer net photosynthesis. This is because this solar-induced fluorescence is able to measure the light that is used by the chlorophyll-a pigment (650-850nm). There is a linear relationship between this solar-induced fluorescence and the gross primary production of a plant.
How does measuring chlorophyll-a pigment with solar-induced fluorescence help us infer net photosynthesis?
What is the purpose of having multiple chlorophylls and what do the other pigments serve ?
Given the chromatogram of the spinach leaves extract in a normal phase from the experiment you
conducted, arrange the components from least polar to most polar.
