Sorry, but that answer is wrong, the truth is that Chlorophyll absorbs most of colors in light but not green. plants look green because chlorophyll reflects green light.

Does green light affect plants?
Green light does affect plants, but it doesn't really provide much help in the plants' growth. Plants that are green absorb all the colors of light except the color green, which is reflected off the plant. This is why we see the plant as green.
Chlorophyll looks like this?
Because the chloroplasts that make chlorophyll are green.
What is the name of the green chemical plants use to collect light energy?
Plants use several pigments for photosynthesis. The primarily green pigment is called chlorophyll.
What color of light is reflected by chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll reflects the green portion of the visible light spectrum, this is why most plants appear green in color
What is the green colouring matter of plants called?
chlorophyll is what makes the plant greenchloroplast is what conducts photosynthesis
What colored compound in plants that absorbs light?
Plants absorb more blue and red light from sunlight, and less green light. Chlorophyll is green, because it reflects green light
Why is it that generally the leaves of plants is color green?
Because plants use chlorophyll to photosynthesize energy from solar radiation and chlorophyll is a bad absorber of light's green wavelengths.
The green color of leaves is due to the presence of what pigment?
chlorophyll- and their green because that is the wavelength of light that the pigment reflects the most

they need light (because of the chlorophyll content, and chlorophyll needs light)
Chlorophyll looks like this?
Because the chloroplasts that make chlorophyll are green.
What color would plants be if chlorophyll was gone?
They would be whichever color corresponds to their dominant photosynthetic pigment. Because chlorophyll absorbs green light the least plants containing chlorophyll appear green. Some plants are red, orange, and even purple because they have a photosynthetic pigment that dominates over chlorophyll.
What green plants can use to make food because of chlorophyll?
Light in the blue and red wavelengths.
What is the name of the green chemical plants use to collect light energy?
Plants use several pigments for photosynthesis. The primarily green pigment is called chlorophyll.
