Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants can absorb any color of light but how it is affected is dependent on the color. the reason this is because the chlorophyll in plants absorbs the light and transforms it into chemical energy. According to scientists if you were to shine purple light on the plant it would enhance the taste and color of the plant. If you were to use blue light it would increase the speed the plant grows at. if you use a yellow light it would decrease the speed that the plant grows at. In conclusion it depends on what color is used.
