Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials …
Question

The distinctly blue shade of a blue spruce results from the scattering of light by small waxy particles that coat the leaves. Explain how this scattering can protect the leaves from damage by short-wavelength ultraviolet light while still permitting the passage of longer wavelengths of light for photosynthesis.
