None of the choices are correct
- 8.Why are (most) plants green?
- A.
Chlorophyll a reflects green light.
- B.
Chlorophyll b primarily uses green light as the source of energy for photosynthesis.
- C.
Green helps plants blend into their environment as a sort of camouflage.
- D.
Chlorophyll a absorbs green light.
- 9.Nitrogen fixation involves the enzyme __________ catalyzing the reaction:N2 + 10 ____ + ___ e- ---> 2 NH4 + H2
