Interpret the absorption spectrums of two types of chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll is a pigment present in the chloroplasts of plants. Among different types of chlorophylls, plants contain chlorophyll a and b. These chlorophylls absorb light in the red and the blue regions of the visible light spectrum.

Due to slight difference in the side chain of the chlorophyll a and b show different absorption of visible light. Light with a wavelength of 460 nm (nano-meter) is most absorb by chlorophyll b and Light with a wavelength of 680 nm is most absorb by chlorophyll a. Chlorophyll absorbs very little light between wavelength 500 to 600 nm.  

1. amino acid refers to the fundamental building block of proteins, comprising of an amino group and a carboxyl group.

2. catalyst refers to any substance, which increases the rate of chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction.

3. a complex molecule containing he genetic code is dna or deoxyribonucleic acid.

4. an enzyme refers to a molecule of protein, which is unique in accelerating up a particular chemical reaction in the biological systems.

5. nucleic acid refers to an sequence of sugars, phosphates, and nitrogenous bases, for example, dna and rna.

6. a protein refers to a large, composite organic molecule comprising of a huge number of amino acids associated together with the of peptide bonds.

7. rna refers to a nucleic acid that takes part in the production of proteins.

8. substrate refers to a compound, which takes part in a chemical reaction, and is chemically modified by the reaction.
