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
Do most plants leaves appear green because they abosrb green light?
The plants contain chlorophyll which in most cases has green dye in it. The plant appears green because they absorb all colors except green and reflect green.
Where do the remaining colors of light go after reaching the trees from the sun?
A tree's leaves reflect green light (which is why they appear green to us) and absorb the rest, this is the energy they use for photosynthesis.
Why are plant leaves different colors?
The leaves change specific colors because that is their normal color. In spring and summer, they are green because of the nutrients and minerals the root sucks up, and when they eat it it makes them green.
Plant leaves appear green because they absorb green light?
False. They absorb red and blue light.
Leaves appear green why?
Well Its SINCHjust imagine leaves are sponges that absorb only water when they absorb water they get healthier and turn green when they don't have enough water they are dehydrated and they shrivel up the die
How does the tree absorb its energy from the sun?
Through photosynthesis in the green leaves.

Why do desert plant have waxy leaves and spines?
The leaves do not want to lose the moisture within them and can expand when they absorb liquid.
What is the role of cholorophyll in the biochemical pathways of photosynthesis?
cholorophyll is what produces the green pigment and allows the leaf to absorb more light, the only light leaves cant absorb is green light
Why doesn't green light promote photosynthesis?
Green light does not promote photosynthesis because it is reflected off of a plants leaves. While most plants absorb all other wavelengths of electromagnetic rays from the sun, they reflect the wavelength for green light.
Leaves appear green because the green portion of the light that strikes them is?
Chlorophyll absorbs most wavelengths of light except green. Because chlorophyll cannot absorb this wavelength, it is reflected, giving leaves a green appearance. So your answer is reflected.
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.
Where do plants make its own food?
There is a green pigment within their leaves. They use their leaves to absorb light, which they use as energy to produce suagars. Hope this helps. ^.^

chlorophyll- and their green because that is the wavelength of light that the pigment reflects the most
Why did plants choose to be green?
plants are green because they absorb all light wavelengths other than green light. The green light bounces off the surface instead, and into an observer's eyes, causing them to see the plant as being green. Not all leaves are green, and some plants, like Japanese Maples, get the same amount of energy from sunlight as a plant with green leaves. This causes me to think that the fact that leaves are green is sort of arbitrary. The color of the leaves in fact has nothing to do with photosynthesis (as someone who answered this question previously suggested), which is merely the process by which energy absorbed from sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide into sugars. energy is stored in the bonds of these sugars.
