You're conducting an experiment to determine the effect of different wavelengths of light on the absorption of carbon dioxide as an indicator of the rate of photosynthesis in aquatic ecosystems. If the rate of photosynthesis increases, the amount of carbon dioxide in the environment will decrease, and vice versa. Small aquatic plants are placed into three containers of water mixed with carbon dioxide. Container A is placed under normal sunlight, B under green light, and C under red light. The containers are observed for a 24-hour period.
-Based on your knowledge of the process of photosynthesis, the plant in the container placed under red light would probably

Question

Red light is known to be more effective for photosynthesis than green light, as plants generally absorb red light better and use it more efficiently for photosynthesis. Green light is less efficiently used by plants for photosynthesis, leading to the expectation that plants under red light would absorb more CO2.
