Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The characteristics of a particle are also possessed by the light. Photons are the discrete particles that make the light, and these particles move in a wave-like pattern at the speed of light. A specific amount of energy is contained by each photon.

Imagine that you are designing a solar panel to generate electricity from sunlight. However, the only pigments you have available to absorb the energy of sunlight are the ones listed below. Which pigment would capture the lowest amount of energy? 400 450 550 600 Wavelength (nm) Visible Spectrum 500 650 700 A yellow pigment. A violet pigment. The colour of the pigment will have no impact on the amount of energy captured. A blue pigment.
within the electromagnetic spectrum visible light provides the energy for photosynthesis and has a
At your work station, you have a spectrophotometer set at 600 nm to measure DCIP absorbance and four (4) test tubes containing different solutions. One of the test tubes is labelled “0” to blank/zero the spectrophotometer. The other three (3) test tubes contain a reaction mixture from a Hill reaction experiment using isolated chloroplasts and DCIP as an electron acceptor.  DCIP is present in the oxidized state and exhibits a blue color with an absorbance at 600 nm.  Upon receiving the electrons, DCIP is reduced to form DCIP-H2 that is colorless.  These three (3) tubes, labelled “A”, “B”, and “C” were exposed to different light conditions during the Hill reaction.   The Light conditions were random, including No light, Red light, and Green light.   Please note that chlorophyll preferentially absorbs the light with wavelength of 660 nm (red) when compared to that of 520 nm (green). Your mission is to determine which Tube came from which experimental light condition.     Tube: Tube…
