Is green light most or least useful in photosynthesis? Why?

Asked by Rosalyn634

Answer (3)

Green is the least useful light for photosynthesis. We know that becsuse plants look green, so we know that the plant doesn't absorb green. It just discards it.

it is least useful or effective in photosynthesis,,, *
because the chlorophyll where light is trapped is itself green in colour... so when sunlight falls on it ,, it traps all lights but not the green colour... and reflects green light so this green is not used or least used as it is reflected.... also plants appear green due to this reflection....

Green light is the least useful wavelength for photosynthesis because plants reflect it instead of absorbing it. Chlorophyll primarily absorbs blue and red light, which is essential for converting light energy into chemical energy. Consequently, green light does not contribute to the energy production process in plants.
