CU Boulder, Fall 2003. Our experiment tested which color (red, blue, green) would influence the plant to produce the most amount of photosynthesis. There are four main photosynthetic pigments found in the chloroplast of the plant called chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, xanthophylls, and carotenes.
Photosynthesis begins with light absorption. Chlorophyll absorbs all colors of light except for green -- plants appear green because chlorophyll reflects back the green wavelengths that strike it. This light energizes electrons inside the chlorophyll, giving the plant energy to power sugar synthesis.
