bio minor...cool. biochem/molecular bio major 2001.

Bio minor cool indeed...But have taken enough courses with BIG guys like you to know the difference between energy production in plants and it's protection from harmful rays of the sun...OH yea and I'm a Philosophy major which is by far more complicated than biology or even Calculus III

it is a conductor, not a producer, Philosopher! don't use correlation as a substitute for relation because even though chlor is present in cells carrying out photosynth it's not proven to be the only mechanism of distribution for photon energy. some believe that it is nothing more than a sensor (in addition to attenuator); "gauging" the spectrum and telling the cell which process of metabolism to use, triggering calvin-benson and staging the migration of glucose to the roots for short daylight, etc.

yeah, i wanted to do the philosophy thing myself at one point. read too much of it in the clink i guess..then, took theo1020 and got my first C. enough pseudo-linguistics for me! i do believe philosophy is still an important study though.

As I said before I'm not here to argue over technicals...even though it took you a little over 30 minutes to respond to my last comment...I hate being technical....Also it's been a while about two years....Where did I mention producer...or hinted the meaning of the word, I believe i used the term involved....a more loose association(showing relation as you put it) term....I often find myslef entangled with english vocabulary as I am not from the states and actually moved here back in '98. Traveling around the world and learning new languages does take its toll on you when the language is not in ur native tongue....besides being technical, I can ask u something like, what type of UV light are u referring to?...UVA, which is not damaging to organisms; UVB; and UVC. Unlike UVB, harmful UVC rays are typically absorbed entirely by the ozone.

"not proven the only mechanism"...or did you not read my previous posts either....

thats the answer rite there

lol i suppose this response took several hours to prepare then...

producer is another form of production which is the word you used directly prior to my address of the use of the term.

didn't get the impression you enjoyed "technical" things very much once i read your description of how the process works so i declined to be technical and point out the many errors, mis-constructions.

also don't know why you even bothered with these trivial posts, i answered a question to help someone and you chime in with useless crap, contributed nothing and you narrowed down which spectrum of UV would be most relevant yourself.

i truly hope you don't go around spouting out that someone doesn't know what they're talking about in real life...especially if you have limitations of the magnitude you demonstrate here.

What are you dissing that guy for? What he wrote was bang on the money, answered the question and knows his shit. You wade in with a bunch of shit about why leaves are green!

If you don't know what you're talking about stfu. From complete newb to expert in what is it now - 3 weeks?

Oh my goodness, maybe this thread did topple a little bit off the topic eh? This was not started to be a battle of the wits board or any other thing of the sort. Now boys, lets play nice.

with all due respect suck my D!*(

I"m glad you remeber how long I've been on this site....
Must have made an impression on you...You on the other hand, I don't know at all....And you're wrong just cause you've sided with him...and I haven't read the rest of your coments cause it's all opinions and no facts...the both of you....
