The chlorophyll content in each solution was measured by reading optical density (OD) on a spectrophotometer. babsorb light at slightly different wavelengths. 2.2. Chlorophyll content was traditionally measured in the laboratory by extracting the chlorophyll itself from a leaf sample using acetone before calculating the chlorophyll concentration by spectrophotometrically measuring absorption at 663 nm and 645 nm. Then the absorbance of the chlorophyll sample was measured at a series of wavelengths (colors) across a range of visible light wavelengths from 400nm (violet) to 700nm (deep red). �?�[���O�̪e��u�a���j�ϭ틘��>?�Lߚ���D$@��S�^
