Does plants with non green leaves do not carry out photosynthesis?

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.

Here in California we have several plants with purple leaves. They have chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis. The purple coloration comes from additional pigments present in the leaves.
Google for
plum tree
to see a picture of purple-leafed trees.
In the plant Indian Pipe, though, there's no chlorophyll and therefore no photosynthesis.

∙ 15y agoNo, because only green plants contain the pigment chlorophyll, which is necessary for photosynthesis.

When do leaves and green stems of plants make food?
photosynthesis
What are chloroplast in plants?
They contain photosynthetic pigments. They carry out photosynthesis.
What captures solar energy and uses photosynthesis to produce sugars?
Plants do this in the chloroplasts in their green leaves.
Which plants have greener leaves?
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.
What atmospheric gas that enables green plants to carrey on the process of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and atmospheric nitrogen enable plants to carry on photosynthesis
Whether plants with non green leaves have chlorophyll and can they carry out photosynthesis?
Plants with non green leaves do have chlorophyll and do carry out photosynthesis. It is just that the chlorophyll is masked by other pigments.
Do plants with non-green leaves have chlorophyll and can they carry out photosynthesis?
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.
Do all pants carry out photosynthesis true or false?
False, because only green plants carry out photosynthesis. Non-green plants do not carry out photosynthesis.
Do plants having non green leaves have chlorophyll and do they carry out photosynthesis?

What process turns the leaves of plants green?
Photosynthesis is one process that occurs in leaves.
What are the three organisms that carry out photosynthesis?
All green plants carry out photosynthesis, and there are a lot more than three kinds of green plants. But I'll list 3 for you anyway. Algae, trees, grass.
Why do green plants photosynthesis?
Because they have enough light and water for photosynthesis
Which plants have greener leaves?
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.
Can photosynthesis occur in the non-green parts of variegated leaves?
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.
