• Answer the question you selected for profile question 1 here (300 words):

  I have had a passion for Science since an early age, it was my favorite class in school! I am very curious about how nature works. I remember when I was about 10 y.o. my mom gave me a microscope kit, I got amazed and started to collect plants, insects, rocks, etc, to see them under the microscope! So, naturally, I decided to pursue a science career as I got older.

Hi Christian, 

Yes, the color does affect the photosynthesis rate. Green Light is not good for photosynthesis because this light is not absorbed. This happens because the chloroplasts are green, thus the green light is reflected.

If we are talking about regular bulbs, the sunlight is more effective because the sun emits a continuous wavelength with more of the beneficial wavelengths for photosynthesis. I'm gonna post a graph about it next, so you can check it.

Hello Dylan,

Yes, the presence of light directly affects the photosynthesis rates. Remember that light is a vital "fuel" so photosynthesis can happen. When it is dark, there is no photosynthesis, just respiration going on.
