Chlorophyll asorbs every color execpt what?
GREEN
What is the role of chorophyll inside chloroplasts?
Chlorophyll gives plants their chosen pigment, based upon their DNA. It is found in every plant, even ones with red or yellow pigment. Chlorophyll's green pigment is still existent in yellow and red plants, it is just hidden by its predominant colors.
Which parts of the spectrum does chlorophyll a absorb light?
It depends on what kind of pigment the plant has. The color of the plant is reflected. That means every other color is obsorbed.
Does a petal's color attract insects?
insects do prefer every colour of the flowers except the dull coloured and the smelly ones
Which colour is least useful for plant life?
You would not want to grow a plant in green light because the chlorophyll reflects green light. Many other colors can be used however including red, yellow, and blue. Although it is true that other pigments exist in chlorophyll the primary color is green.
Why is the colour plant leaves different?
well this might not really be the answer, but every different textures reflect different colours, like a banana absorbs every colour except for yellow, and grass absorbs every colour except for green.... or the other way around...
Chlorophyll asorbs every color execpt what?
GREEN
Why is a yellow shirt yellow?
Because any pigmented shirt absorbs every color except what it reflects. The color it reflects is the color that appears. So a yellow shirt reflects yellow and appears yellow.
Why is yelllow yellow?
It got sick of being mellow. Things that are the color yellow are that way because they reflect every color of light except yellow, which it absorbs. That's why things appear yellow.
What colors can not absorb heat?
every color absorbs heat ... but white absorbs less heat ...and black colour absorbs more heat ..
What fabrics can you wear to reduce heat?
black is a color that absorbs heat so wear black and did i mention that black absorbs every other color
What si cloropyll?
Chlorophyll Chlorophyll, green pigment that gives most plants their color and enables them to carry on the process of photosynthesis. Chemically, chlorophyll has several similar forms, each containing a complex ring structure and a long hydrocarbon tail. The molecular structure of the chlorophylls is similar to that of the heme portion of hemoglobin, except that the latter contains iron in place of magnesium. Within the photosynthetic cells of plants the chlorophyll is in the chloroplasts-small, roundish, dense protoplasmic bodies that contain the grana, or disks, where the chlorophyll molecules are located. Chlorophyll absorbs light in the red and blue-violet portions of the visible spectrum; the green portion is not absorbed and, reflected, gives chlorophyll its characteristic color. Chlorophyll tends to mask the presence of colors in plants from other substances, such as the carotenoids. When the amount of chlorophyll decreases, the other colors become apparent. This effect can be seen most dramatically every autumn when the leaves of trees "turn color." http://www.reference.com/browse/Chlorophyll
Why is a bear not blue?
Well, see, bears are made up of a very complex chemical molecular structure. The positrons comprising their fur particles are made of ryanium, which absorbs every color of the electromagnetic spectrum except for brown. It absorbs the color blue which is why it is not reflected back onto your corneas and the bear does not appear blue. This is why a bear is not blue.
How is white and black different and say it with detail?
White objects reflects visual "light" where as black objects absorb it. black the color is every color so it absorbs all the light(every color in the spectrum), and white is the lack of color so it reflects all the light(every color in the spectrum) that's why you get warmer when you wear black in the sun because it absorbs the sun and white reflects it.
What color do you get when you mix all the colors of the rainbow?
You'd get black because black absorbs every single colour.
Why do leaves on trees appear to be green?
It reflects green light and absorbs the other visible wavelengths.
How are things colored?
Color of any specific object comes from its wavelength. If an object has a certain wavelength, it absorbs some colors and reflects those that it doesn't absorb off...towards the eye. In other words, if you see a red ball, that means that the ball is absorbing every color of light except red.
