The pigments of the Elodea leaf absorbed more white light than green light when carrying out photosynthesis. According to the bar graph below, the white light caused the leaf to produce a significantly greater amount of oxygen than green light (Graph 1). The graph also illustrates how the amount of oxygen produced during the first 10 minutes affect the gross photosynthesis. Both the red portion and blue portion of each column, which represents gross photosynthesis and net photosynthesis respectively, are larger for white light than for green light (Graph 1). The graph of the data provides an illustration of what the actual data numbers are representing. The table below provides the actual numerical values for the net oxygen produced, the oxygen
