You grow plants under three different color lights: red, blue, and green. Plants grown under which color light will grow the poorest? (everything else is identical, the only variable is the color of light)

Step 1
Red light has a longer wavelength, blue light has a shorter wavelength, and green light falls in between. Show more…

A student conducts a science experiment in which she places four identical plants under four different colors of light: red, white, yellow, and green. She measures their height after a few weeks. Under which color of light will the plant grow the least? green red white yellow

Three of the same species of plant are each grown under a different colored light for the same amount of time. Plant A is grown under blue light, Plant B is grown under green light, and Plant C is grown under orange light. Assuming the plants use only chlorophyll a and chlorophyll $b$ for photosynthesis, what would be the predicted order of the plants from most growth to least growth? a. $A, C, B$ b. $A, B, C$ C. $ C, A, B$ d. $\mathrm{B}, \mathrm{A}, \mathrm{C}$
You are doing an experiment on how the color of light will affect plant growth rate. The idea behind this experiment is that growth rate is proportional to photosynthetic rate, so plants that photosynthesize more will grow more. You have three groups of plants: Plants grown under blue light Plants grown under green light Plants grown under red light All other variables (light intensity, temperature, day length, etc.) are kept constant. Which group of plants will show the most growth? Plants grown under blue light Plants grown under green light Plants grown under red light
