11. Visible light is made up of many different _______________of light Your eyes “see” different sizes of waves as different ___________ http://www.simontucket.com/_Portfolio/PortLarge/L_Il_Prism.jpg wavelengths colors

12. Many people think that plants are green because they absorb and use green light in photosynthesis, BUT.... Myth: Image from: http://oogletutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/photoshop-lesson-green-leaf-design26.gif

14. This book “looks BLUE” because the dye in this cover _______________ of the wavelengths of light _________ blue. _______ light is ____________ to your eyes and it looks BLUE http://www.michaelhyatt.com/fromwhereisit/bluebook.jpg except absorbs ALL BLUE reflected

15. The dye in this T shirt absorbs all of the colors __________________________ Red wavelengths are _________________ to your eyes and the shirt looks RED http://jacksbear.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=9 except red reflected GO CATS!

16. Objects “look BLACK” because black dye ________________ of the wavelengths of light. When wavelengths are absorbed so is the_____________ of the wave. That is why wearing a black T-shirt in the summer feels warmer than wearing a white t-shirt. http://www.eventsonline.ca/events/vowsa/black_shirt.jpg http://www.hotstuffspas.com/pools_files/sunanim.gif absorbs ALL ENERGY

17. The dye in white objects _____________ of the wavelengths of light. _______ energy is ABSORBED so wearing white clothing is “cooler”. REFLECTS ALL LITTLE http://www.hotstuffspas.com/pools_files/sunanim.gif http://www.12stitch.com/shop/images/options/Blank-White-Shirt.jpg

20. Plants gather the sun’s energy with light absorbing molecules called ___________. pigments By: VanderWal

21. The main energy absorbing molecule in green plants is ___________________ _________________ are plant pigments too. (These look yellow, orange, and red) CAROTENOIDS http://www.russianflora.com/store/images/product/custom_green_plant_35.jpg http://www.rnzih.org.nz/images/gardenimages/carrots_d.jpg CHLOROPHYLL

22. GREEN leaves have BOTH chlorophyll AND carotenoids __________________ but the huge amount of chlorophyll ______ the other colors and leaves usually look green ALL THE TIME hides

23. In ______, chlorophyll production slows as the trees shut down and photosynthesis stops for winter. FALL http://sps.k12.ar.us/massengale/ecology_notes_bi.htm
