Question

sarah has set up an experiment to see how different wavelengths of light affect the light - dependent reactions. to do this, she had 4 plants, and placed them under the following conditions: 1 plant was placed under white light; 1 plant was placed under red light; 1 plant was placed under green light; 1 plant was placed under blue light. she then measured how much atp was produced over the course of an hour. which plant or plants should sarah expect to show the most atp production? the plant under red light; the plant under white light; the plant under blue light; the plant under green light

Explanation:

Plants absorb light for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, the main pigment in plants, absorbs red and blue light well, while green light is poorly absorbed. White light contains a spectrum of colors including red and blue. Since white light provides a wider range of wavelengths that can be used for photosynthesis - related reactions like ATP production, it is expected to result in the most ATP production compared to single - color lights.

Answer:

The plant under white light
