sunlight will photosynthesis take place?
The absorbed blue and red lights are most effective for
photosynthesis

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution of your asked query:

Photosynthesis is best in red light and
very poor in green light Chlorophylls absorb the
red light and carotenoids absorb blue-green light, but green light
is not effectively absorbed by photosynthetic pigments in plants;
therefore, light of this color is either reflected by leaves or
passes through the leaves This is why plants are green Red light is
the most effective in photosynthesis because it has exactly the
right amount of energy to energize, or excite chlorophyll electrons
and boost them out of their orbits to a higher energy level

Hope this information clears your doubts about the topic

Keep aksing!!
