Using the two figures given above answer the following question: 8. Compare the absorption spectrum of total chlorophyll (Figure 1)) with the action spectrum for photosynthesis (shown below). An action spectrum is a graphic representation of the magnitude of a biological response to light as a function of wavelength What conclusions can you draw about the comparison of the absorption spectra of the chlorophylls with the action spectrum for photosynthesis? Fiqure 2: Absorption spectrum of Chlorophyli a Fiqure 3: Absorption Spectrum of chlorophyll b8. Compare the absorption spectrum of total chlorophyll (Figure 1)) with the action spectrum for photosynthesis (shown below). An action spectrum is a "graphic representation of the magnitude of a biological response to light as a function of wavelength" What conclusions can you draw about the comparison of the absorption spectra of the chlorophylls with the action spectrum for photosynthesis?.
