Plants are green because they do not absorb green light, but reflect or transmit it. The light they absorb is mostly from the blue and red ends of the spectrum. So if a plant is kept in green light it will not be able to absorb it and so will not be able to carry out photosynthesis.

∙ 12y agowell if you put a plant under bright sun light the photosynthesis process well not be as fast as a plant under soft light.

What effects does light have on plants growth?
When a plant is exposed to light, it undergoes photosynthesis. During this process, the plant turns light energy and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugars for the plant to consume. Therefore, a plant more exposed to light will produce more food for itself, and grow more.
If a plant is kept under green colored light for an exteneded period of time what will happen to the plants food production?
The plants food production would be slower because the green light is reflected instead of absorbed and the only light it gets is green no other colors.
Will different light colors affect plant growth?
What light is best for green plantsYes, different colors will affect plant growth. If you are growing a green plant yourself either make sure your plant gets enough sunlight. Under green light your plant will not grow the best since green light will reflect on green plants, blue and red lights work more effectively in plant growth.
The worst thing you can do for the health of a green-leafed plant is to illuminate it with only?
Green Light
If a green light is shining on a green plant in a red pot what color would the green plant appear to be?
If the red light is pure red, and the plant has not pigments other than green, and there are no other light sources present, the plant will appear to not be lit at all. Colored light works with pigment that reflects it. Red light is reflected by red pigments, and green pigments reflect green light. The plant has green pigment and no green light to reflect, and the red light has no red pigment to reflect it. This means that no light will be reflected off of the plant and in theory, the only thing you will be able to see is the outline of the plant from the light reflected by other objects. In reality there is probably more pigments than green in the plant, and there are probably more light than red, so it will most likely overlap in a few places and appear a sort of gray.
What types of light colours that plant can photosynthesis?
Plants are green because they reflect green light more than any other part of the color spectrum, therefore if a plant is only exposed to green light it will reflect.
What happen to plant leaves grown in light?
the plant leaves will grow healthy.the color will be green
A student exposed two plants to only red light and two plants to only green light. Which plant will grow best?
balls
Why would most plants not grow very well under only green light?
Most plants will grow in white light, as it is closer to blue light. Blue light is the light emitted from the sun for the majority of the day. Green light has a very small place on the spectrum and therefore does not appear much. However, if the plant is hardy, it may grow in any light or even no light.
Does the wavelength of light a plant is exposed to affect plant?
Yes.
Could a plant grow in green light only?
No, this is because when you see a green plant, it is green because the plant is absorbing all light in the spectrum except for green. A plant will not use green light to power photosynthesis and the plant will die
What would happen to a plants production if it was left under a green colored light?
it depends on the plant, each plant reacts in a different way.
What effect does light have on a plant growth?
When a plant is exposed to light, it undergoes photosynthesis. During this process, the plant turns light energy and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugars for the plant to consume. Therefore, a plant more exposed to light will produce more food for itself, and grow more.

All but which condition must be present for light-independent reactions to occur?
the plant is exposed to light
