Photosynthetic organisms use a limited portion of the electromagnetic spectrum of light. This portion is called ______ light and consists of wavelengths of light from about 400 to 740 nm.
Visible Light
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum of light that is used by photosynthetic organisms is called visible light. Visible light consists of wavelengths of light ranging from about 400 to 740 nm. This is the range of light that is visible to the human eye and is also the range of light that is most effective for photosynthesis. Within this range, plants primarily absorb light in the blue and red regions of the spectrum, while reflecting green light, which is why plants appear green to the human eye. The absorption of light by pigments such as chlorophyll is critical for photosynthesis, as it provides the energy necessary to produce organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water.
