Chlorophyll absorbs light most strongly in the blue and red but poorly in the green portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, hence the green color of chlorophyll-containing tissues like plant leaves

What color doesn't chlorophyll absorb?
The color of anything is either the color of the light that is reflected from it, or the light that is transmitted through it. The other colors in white light are absorbed. So, since we see leaves as green whether in reflected light or when light shines through them, green is the color which is NOT absorbed.
The green color of leaves is due to the presence of what pigment?
chlorophyll- and their green because that is the wavelength of light that the pigment reflects the most
Chlorophyll absorbs every color of light except this?
Chlorophyll absorbs every color of the sunlight except for green. It is green and it cannot absorb its own color.
Why only using green light would the plants look droopy?
Chlorophyll in plants does not absorb green light as they reflect this color. That is why plants are, generally, green as they reflect green light and absorb other wavelengths of light.
Leaf Cell's use chlorophyll to absorb what?
Light
About what percent of light of this color does chlorophyll absorb?
6
What chlorophyll a and b absorb?
Chlorophyll a and b absorb BLUE-VIOLET and RED wavelengths of light best.
What is chlorophyll composed of?
chlorophyll is composed of many lights that we see in a rainbow. chlorophyll a is when it absorbs all light except for the color red. chlorophyll b is the same as chlorophyll a but instead of not absorbing the color red it refuses to absorb the color blue.
What color chemicals compound in plants that absorb light?
the colored compounds in them are chloroplast and chlorophyll that are colored green and absorb light for the process of photosynthesis....

What molecules in chloroplasts can absorb light?
A type of plastids called chloroplasts absorb the light.
What do chlorophyll molecules absorb?
light.
What Does chlorophyll not absorb?
Chlorophyll does not absorb the color green. For this reason, the leaves of many plants appear green, as most other colours of light are absorbed (and therefore, are not reflected, and cannot be seen). When a plant dies, its leaves usually change colour, as the chlorophyll is no longer absorbing light.
Chlorophyll absorbs every color of light except this?
Chlorophyll absorbs every color of the sunlight except for green. It is green and it cannot absorb its own color.
What color range does chlorophyll absorb light energy?
Blue and Red -Mastering Biology 4th edition
Chlorophyll reflects which color of light?
carotenoids: absorb blue- violet chlorophyll: absorb red and also blue-violet reflect red-yellow reflect green
