उत्तर

  Action Spectrum Absorption Spectrum
1. The curve that shows the rate of photosynthesis at different wavelengths is called action spectrum. The curve which shows the amount of light absorbed by pigments at each wavelength is termed as absorption spectrum
2. It explains the relationship between photosynthetic activity in relation to different wavelengths of light. It explains the relationship between quality of light and absorbing capacity of the pigments.
3. In action spectrum, the rate of photosynthesis is measured as amount of CO2 fixation, oxygen production, NADP+ reduction. In absorption spectrum, absorption of different wavelengths of light pigments can be measured by spectrophotometer.
