Suppose a plant had a photosynthetic pigment that absorbed far-red wavelengths of light.In which of the following environments could that plant thrive?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plants that absorb far-red wavelengths of light are adapted to low-light environments, such as shaded areas on the forest floor. They have evolved to use this portion of the light spectrum that is less likely to be absorbed by other photosynthetic organisms in their environment. Therefore, the plant would thrive beneath a canopy of taller plants where it can effectively use this wavelength of light.
