Are leaves green at night?

At night leaves still contain the green pigment chlorophyll, so they are still green. However, they may appear black in the absence of sunlight.


Does photosynthesis occurs in plants having red and brown leaves?

Yes. Plants with leaves with colours other than green still contain chloroplasts (which are the part of the plant which does the photosynthesis). The reason the leaves aren't green is because other colour pigments are more prominent and they camouflage the green of the chloroplasts... but they do certainly still contain chloroplasts and undergo photosynthesis.


Does seedless plants have pollen?

Yes they do contain chlorophyll. That is because it still has the cells that allow photosynthesis.


What is the name of green leaves of plants?

If you mean the green pigment in leaves of plants, it's called the chlorophyll. But if you're really referring to the green leaves of plant, then sorry, I don't know. The answer would still be green leaves, if you're looking for the name of the green leaves of plants.


Can You Make Plants In Spore?

If you are talking about the game, no. Only Maxis creates them, but you can still scan and get info on them in the space stage


How do plants with foliage that is not green in color photosynthesize?

Photosynthesis is accomplished by chlorophyll. Regardless of the color of the leaf, the cholophyll is still present and therefore photosynthesis still occurs.


Explain why a yellow leaf cannot make food?

Green plants are green because they have chlorophyll which aids in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of making food (glucose). Non-green plants do not have chlorophyll so they can't photosynthesize.


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.


Can plants use the nitrogen in the air?

Trees do contain nitrogen because they contain protein (the density of protein in plants is less than in animals, but plants still need some protein to carry out their various biochemical processes).


Which plants live in sea water?

Seaweed is a kind of plant called alga that lives in salty water. Algae can be red, brown, green, or blue, but they still contain chlorophyll for making food from sunlight. Some seaweeds fasten themselves on to rocks. Others have bubbles of air in their leaves so they can float.


Why does chlorophyll make plant leaves appear green?

Chlorophyll is a complex biomolecule containing magnesium. The molecule contains special ring shaped structures that capture preferred wavelengths of light. Green is not "captured" so it is reflected back to our eye. I do know that plants may contain modified chlorophyll and other pigments to take advantage of the type of light available to them. One example are sea plants where only certain wavelengths of light may reach specific depths and the plants have evolved to capture this light for energy. "We can also look at this from another angle. Why does chlorophyll reflect ("throw away") green light, which is the most abundant color in sunlight, and utilize instead the weaker reds and blue? Scientists theorize that it may have been because competing organisms were absorbing much of the green wavelengths billions of years ago, so algae (the earliest plants) reflected the green away and instead absorbed the red and blue hues that remained. Early in Earth's history, the oceans were dominated by archaea, bacteria-like organisms that are often purple in color, due to a pigment used to create energy from the sun in a process analogous to photosynthesis (but completely differently at the chemical level). As algae came along, they would have found a beneficial niche by utilizing the unused red and blue wavelengths (and reflecting the green). If you compare the absorption spectra of chlorophyll (plants) and retinal (the pigment in archaea), they are mirrors of each other, which supports this theory. Why archaea never evolved into complex organisms like algae did into plants and trees is not known (to me, at least), but another roll of the evolutionary dice might have led to large, purple archaea-trees that could outcompete plants (since plants use only the weaker red/blue wavelengths). Today, archaea ancestors remain as microorganisms that tend to inhabit extreme environments (geysers, salt ponds, etc.) where their purple (and red) colors can still be seen.
