Plants with non green leaves do have chlorophyll and do carry out photosynthesis. It is just that the chlorophyll is masked by other pigments.
No,they can not
Yes,because all plants are the same
Photosynthesis is one process that occurs in leaves.
Plants with non-green leaves have chlorophyll and do carry out the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS. It is just that the chlorophyll is masked by other pigment.
Plants make chlorophyll by the process of photosynthesis.
No, photosynthesis cannot occur in the non-green parts of variegated leaves because photosynthesis needs chlorophyll to occur, and the non-green parts of the plants lack chlorophyll.
"So, plants with leaf color other than green perform photosynthesis just like green-leafed plants (if they did not, they would not live). The chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis is masked among the colorful pigmentation."
traps sunlight for photosynthesis
Plants get their color from the sunlight. The sunlight activates the chlorophyll located in the leaves of plants. Chlorophyll captures the sunlight which begins the photosynthesis process that turns the leaves green in plants.

Chloroplast/chlorophyll
It captures the energy from sunlight that is used in photosynthesis.

Plants make chlorophyll by the process of photosynthesis.
Leaves get their green colour due to presence of a plastid called chlorophyll. This does the function of absorbing sunlight required for photosynthesis. Hence plants which survive on photosynthesis have greener leaves.
The leaves contain the majority of a tree's chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is how plants make food; thus the majority of the food is made in the leaves. Leaves=food factory.

True plants (as opposed to fungus) have chlorophyll in their leaves. They carry out photosynthesis like any other plant, but other chemicals in the leaves mask the chlorophyll, giving the leaf a non-green hue.There is also a species of parasitic dodder (Cuscuta europaea) which does not photosynthesize, and depends on other plants for nutrition.
