The last week of class, we have been talking about photosynthesis, and the processes involve with it. We started a lab on photosynthesis, and how the color of the light affect how much a plant can survive. We've learned that the plants absorb every colors except for green because plants can not absorb green light, causing the light to reflect back, without light energy plants won't be able to produce energy and survive. The light that were absorbed by the plant, got transfer to the chlorophyll then the energy goes up to the reaction center, causing the electrons to transport to the photosystem I, and produce ATP along the way. During the lab, we did a color extraction from the plant, and use calculation to find the chromatography.
