What do chloroplasts do to leaves?
chloroplasts are green in color. They make leaves green in color too.
Why leaves appear green in photosynthesis?
The pigment responsible for photosynthesis (Chlorophyll) reflects the green wave length of sunlight when light fall on the leaf. That is why leaves appear green in the presence of light.
What pigment is needed for photosynthesis?
chlorophyll, It makes the leaves green and is needed for photosynthesis
Does photosynthesis occur in leaves which are not in green color?
yes
How does clorophyll help in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyl is a green pigment in leaves. It traps sunlight for photosynthesis.
Do yellow leaves photosynthesis?
"So, plants with leaf color other than green perform photosynthesis just like green-leafed plants (if they did not, they would not live). The chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis is masked among the colorful pigmentation."
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.
Why are leaves green and how does this color contribute to the process of photosynthesis?
Leaves are green because of a pigment called chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll reflects green light, giving leaves their color. This color helps plants absorb the right amount of sunlight needed for photosynthesis, the process where plants convert sunlight into energy.
Which plants have greener leaves?
Leaves get their green colour due to presence of a plastid called chlorophyll. This does the function of absorbing sunlight required for photosynthesis. Hence plants which survive on photosynthesis have greener leaves.
How many kinds of pigments are there in green leaves?
There are two main pigments found in green leaves: chlorophylls and carotenoids. Chlorophylls are responsible for the green color in leaves and are essential for photosynthesis. Carotenoids help capture light energy for photosynthesis and can appear yellow, orange, or red in color.
What color do the leaves on a plant need to be in order for photosynthesis process?
Green
Do some red colour leaves under go photosynthesis?
Maybe. Chlorophyll is what colours leaves green, and is what is responsible for photosynthesis. Although leaves may not appear green that may be because another agent (for example, Anthocyanin, a pigment that appears in the sugar of plants) is overpowering the colour of the chlorophyll, but it may still be present in the leaves and therefore these leaves may be undergoing photosynthesis.
