What is the difference between action spectrum and absorption spectrum in photosynthesis?
1. The action spectrum shows wavelengths used for oxygen evolution, while the absorption spectrum shows wavelengths that chlorophyll absorbs.
2. The action spectrum measures the rate of photosynthesis at different wavelengths, while the absorption spectrum measures the rate of respiration.
3. Both spectrums measure the same wavelengths of light used in photosynthesis.
4. The absorption spectrum indicates the overall health of the plant, whereas the action spectrum does not.
