Light that the chlorophyll-a pigment uses may be measured by the solar-induced fluorescence (650-850nm). This fluorescence caused by the sun and a plant's gross primary output are correlated linearly. Why does this reasoning shows that solar induced fluorescence can be used to infer net photosynthesis?

One of the constants in the experiment was that the chloropyll content was measured every 48 hours.   A True   B False

Anthocyanins are another type of plant pigment that are purple or red. Say you run a chromatography experiment using the same setup as you did in this lab, and you find that anthocyanins do not move from the line of origin. Assuming the solvent traveled the same distance as in your experiment (D in Table 1 above), what is the Rf value of anthocyanin?

Phycobiliproteins are complex proteins in cyanobacteria that absorb light energy. There are three different kinds of phycobiliprotein molecules used to pass light to chlorophyll: phycoerythrin is responsible for capturing green light, phycocyanin is responsible for capturing orange-red light, and allophycocyanin is responsible for capturing red light. Since light can only penetrate to certain depths in oceans, phycobiliproteins capture the light available and pass it through various pathways of phycobiliproteins until the emitted light is red, which is absorbed by chlorophyll.
