Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chlorophyll and carotenoids absorb red and blue wavelengths, which are critical for their electrons to become excited and participate in photosynthesis. Green and yellow wavelengths are not absorbed as efficiently and are therefore reflected, which gives leaves their green color. Orange and yellow wavelengths are also absorbed to a lesser extent, but to a greater degree than green and yellow.
