Re: green wavelength in plant photosynthesis

... this head to write a bit in my report. will it change the colour of its leaves? Blue and Red are the major parts of the spectrum where chlorophyll absorbs light. This doesn't mean that green light isn't used at all, especially by other pigments such as carotenoids. I would expect that they wouldn't ...

... A typical plant leaf houses around five different types of pigments; chlorophyll a and b, xanthophyll, anthocyanin, and carotenoids. Each pigment absorbs and reflect different wavelengths and thus they appear as different colours once exposed; chlorophyll a and b least absorb and reflect in 500-600 ...

... complexed with proteins and other molecules rather than in solution, it has very different behaviours. think of it: chl a in photosystem II absorbs at 680 nm, while chl a in photosystem I absorbs at 700 nm (here I mean the molecules in the center of each photosystem, the ones on the periphery ...

Does anything affect absorption spectrum of chlorophyll?

... affect its absorption spectra? For instance, can a protein or a mineral bind to chlorophyll a to make it absorb light in a different way than it absorbs light in a different plant? Thanks for any help. I'm just trying to make an interesting paper.
