Absorbing and reflecting the sun's different wavelengths describes the way that non-green leaves prepare food. Chlorophyll is just one of a number of photosynthetic pigments and looks green because it absorbs blue and red wavelengths and reflects green. Other photosynthetic pigments prepare food by absorbing other wavelengths, such as infrared and ultraviolet, both of which are undetectable by the human eye.

Are seed leaves important to a plant?
yes, they prepare food for the whole plant through photosynthesis.
What are nongreen plants called?
Fungi
How red yellow leaves prepare their own food?
Red and yellow leaves prepare their own food through photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs sunlight and enables the process of converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This glucose is then used as energy for the plant's growth and development.
Does a plants roots make food for the plant?
No, they receive water and nutrients from the soil, but the chlorophyl/chloroplasts obtain sunlight and use water to create food for a plant. But som of them are modified to use sunlight to prepare food
Where stem prepare food?
Stems prepare food through a process called photosynthesis, which occurs primarily in the leaves of the plant. However, stems play a crucial role in supporting the plant and transporting nutrients and water between the roots and leaves. They also store food and can contribute to the plant's growth and reproduction. In some plants, stems can be edible and provide additional nutrients to humans and animals.

Which is the only organism that prepares its own food?
Photosynthetic organisms "prepare" food by synthesis from light thus Photo-synthesis.. synthesis means to make, to produce.

Why can't leaves kept in a dark room prepare food?
Leaves require light for photosynthesis, the process by which they convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight. In a dark room, the absence of light prevents chlorophyll in the leaves from capturing light energy, halting the photosynthesis process. Without the ability to produce glucose through this process, the leaves cannot prepare food. Consequently, they rely on stored energy until light becomes available again.
What does preparar la comida mean?
"You prepare the food."
How the size of leaf can help in food manufacture?
The size of a leaf can affect the rate of photosynthesis, which is crucial for food manufacture in plants. Larger leaves with more surface area can capture more sunlight for energy production. Additionally, larger leaves can have more chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs, enhancing the plant's ability to produce food.
Why are leaves called Food factories?
Because the food comes from the leaves...by kathlene claire,,,,,
