It has been suggested that scientists should attempt to genetically engineer a plant to have black leaves so that it would perform photosynthesis more efficiently. What is the likely reason behind this idea?
◦ A black plant would absorb all wavelengths and therefore absorb more light energy that powers photosynthesis.
◦ Black plants would heat up faster and therefore all chemical reactions including photosynthesis would operate faster.
◦ A black plant would absorb green wavelengths like most plants, but would absorb them more efficiently.
◦ A black plant would reflect all wavelengths and therefore have more energy to drive photosynthesis.
