Ms. Brundage buys a fancy new plant, and brings it home to replace her plastic ones. The action spectrum of the plant's leaves is found in Figure 1 below. Unfortunately it is winter and there is very little natural light. The local hardware store offers her two lighting choices: halogen light or cool white LED. After a little research, she discovers the spectrum of each type of light, as shown in Figure 2. a) Which type of light should Ms. Brundage purchase? Explain. b)The salesperson assures her that her plant most likely will be able to grow under either type of light. Given what you know about plant pigments and photosynthesis, how could this be possible? Explain.
