### Limiting Factors Affecting Photosynthesis

1. Explain why a green book appears green when white light is shone on it.

2. What color will a book appear if a blue light is shone through a green filter, and why?

3. Photosynthesis:
- Recall the equation for photosynthesis.
- Recall the green pigment in chloroplasts.
- Describe two uses of glucose in plants.

Final answer:

Chlorophyll absorbs non-green light, causing plants to appear green; a green filter makes a book appear blue because it transmits blue light. The photosynthesis equation, chlorophyll's role, and glucose's uses in plants are essential concepts.


Explanation:

Chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants, selectively absorbs certain wavelengths of light, primarily using light that is not in the green color spectrum, hence appearing green to us. When a blue light is shone through a green filter, the book would appear blue because the filter absorbs other colors and transmits blue light.

  1. Photosynthesis equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2
  2. Green pigment in chloroplasts: Chlorophyll
  3. Uses of glucose in plants: Energy production and storage, structural building material
