What is the relationship between plants and colored light? Well, the color of light will affect a plants growth either negatively or positively, I will explore this relationship throughout the paper.

Light is very important in a plant's life. Without light a plant could not grow, reproduce, or produce food and building materials. So all plants would eventually die off if there was no light for them to use... which unfortunately would lead to the eventual death of almost all life on earth. You might ask how could the death of seemingly unimportant organisms such as plants could lead to the death of almost all organisms on earth( not counting the absence of light on earth, this is hypothetical). Well there are two reasons why this would happen. The first reason is plants are the only organism that produces its own food. All other organisms have to take energy from something else but plants get their energy directly from the sun so when animals eat plants they get energy that other animals get when they eat the animal that ate the plants and so on and so on. The second reason why the death of plants would lead to the death of most organisms is we would suffocate. You see, plants produce oxygen when they go through photosynthesis (the process they use to get energy from the sun), in fact plants are the only organisms that produce oxygen (including algae and some single celled bacteria). Every other organism produces carbon dioxide and uses oxygen so all the oxygen in the world would eventually be used up and we would suffocate.
