actually plants are green to the human eye because they reflect green light witch in return your eyes absorb so the chlorophyll absorbs the red and the blue while reflecting the green spectrum. btw the plants absorb more blue light than red as blue light contains more energy than red due to the higher Frequency and therefor more energy.

What chlorophyll a and b absorb?
Chlorophyll a and b absorb BLUE-VIOLET and RED wavelengths of light best.
Chlorophyll reflects which color of light?
carotenoids: absorb blue- violet chlorophyll: absorb red and also blue-violet reflect red-yellow reflect green
What molecule is used to capture light energy?
Chlorophyll captures light energy using photosynthesis. Energy is absorbed through wavelengths. It can absorb violet-blue and orange-red light energy easily.
What types of light does chlorophyll absorb?
Chlorophyll a and b absorb light very well in the blue-violet and red regions of the visible spectrum. Green light is reflected, which is why plants are green.
What molecules other than chlorophyll absorb and reflect certain colors?
Several other pigments are found in plants beside chlorophyll. These are: anthocyanin's which reflect red, blue, purple, or magenta colors; carotenoids which reflect yellow, orange, or red and absorb blue light; and phycobilins which are found in algae.
Does chlorophyll a absorb mostly orange red and violet blue light?
yes..
What chlorophyll a and b absorb?
Chlorophyll a and b absorb BLUE-VIOLET and RED wavelengths of light best.
Name of tertiary colors?
The tertiary colours are:Blue-GreenYellow-GreenYellow-OrangeRed-OrangeRed-VioletBlue-Violet
What light does chlorophyll a absorb?
Chlorophyll absorbs the blue-violet prtion of the electromagnetic spectrum and reflects green
What wavelength does chlorophyll a absorb the most energy?
Chlorophyll a absorbs the most light (energy) in the blue- violet spectrum
Chlorophyll reflects which color of light?
carotenoids: absorb blue- violet chlorophyll: absorb red and also blue-violet reflect red-yellow reflect green
What r d different types of chlorophyll present in plants?
There are two main pigments.They chlorophyll a and b.
What molecule is used to capture light energy?
Chlorophyll captures light energy using photosynthesis. Energy is absorbed through wavelengths. It can absorb violet-blue and orange-red light energy easily.
What is the green pigment in chloroplast and absorbs light energy from the sun?
Chlorophyll (mainly), though there are other accessory pigments. Chlorophyll usually absorbs light mainly in the red-orange to blue-violet parts of the visible light spectrum
The type of chlorophyll most efficient at capturing red and violet light is chlorophyll a?
T
Chlorophyll absorb what color of light?
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 wavelengths does carotene absorb?
Carotenoids reflect yellow-orange light and absorb blue-green light.
