what can you conclude from the statement that the action and absorprion spectra of photoynthesis overlap
Dear Student.
The correct spelling is absorption and photosynthesis.
Absorption spectrum is the spectrum where plants (pigment) absorb light.
Action spectrum is the measurement of O2 evolved or CO2 consumed against the different wavelengths of light absorbed by the same pigment as mentioned in absorption spectrum.
Therefore more the pigment absorbs light, more will be the rate of photosynthesis, more will be the rate of O2 evolved or CO2 consumed by plant. As the amount of light absorbed is directly related to the rate of photosynthesis, both the spectra overlap each other.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.
