Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and carotenoids. Chlorophyll directly absorbs light for use in photosynthesis.
Carotenoids absorb light and transfer the energy from light to chlorophyll. The efficiency of photosynthesis varies with
the wavelengths of the light that illuminates the chloroplasts. In an experiment to study the relationship between the
incoming light wavelengths and the chemical reactions of photosynthesis using a species of green algae, a researcher
labeled the COt2 supply to the algae with 14C, and the H20 with 180.
Which of the following results is expected?
O More 14C is found in the algae when it is illuminated by green light than when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red
light.
O More 180 is found in the algae when it is illuminated by green light than when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red
light
O More 14C is found in the algae when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red light than when it is illuminated by green
light.
O More 180 is found in the algae when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red light than when it is illuminated by green
light
