4 Why is the chlorophyll green? Chlorophyll is a green pigment present in green plants and cyanobacteria Chlorophyll is essential in the transformation of light energy to chemical energy in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs light mostly in the blue and red ends of the visible spectrum, and very little in the green wavelengths. That green light is reflected, giving us the leaf colour we see.

What would happen if there were no photosynthesis on Earth? Does it really affect you and your daily life? In this project you will learn valuable information about photosynthesis process, how it works, how important this vital process is to your life. http://www.cnr.vt.edu/DENDRO/forestbiolo gy/photosynthesis.swf
17 Introduction. Aliens have just approached you from Mars to help our planet. They heard about the global worming and the Ozone hole on Earth and how it is related to the increased rate of death due to diseases like skin cancer. They have discovered a new gas that has the ability to reflect the sun rays completely to the outer space and protect the Earth from their harmful effect. So, if the Earth’s atmosphere is coated with that gas it will block the sunrays entirely form reaching the Earth and will solve the problem. Some people agreed with the Aliens. US Environmental Protection Agency strongly rejected that solution and prepared a presentation to explain the importance of the sun to the Earth and how it affects the life of other organisms
18 Task You are working for the US Environmental Protection Agency.You are among the Photosynthesis team. Your Team’s task is to explain the importance of photosynthesis, how it works, and how it affects the life of other organisms. You will take one of the following rolls: 6H 2 O + 6CO 2 ----------> C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2
