The wavelengths of light most useful in photosynthesis are:
| 1. | green and orange | 2. | red and blue |
| 3. | infrared and yellow | 4. | red and green |
| I: | include Carotenoids and Xanthophylls but not Chlorophyll b. |
| II: | enable a wider range of wavelength of incoming light to be utilised for photosynthesis. |
| III: | protect Chlorophyll a from photo-oxidation. |
