The color of anything is either the color of the light that is reflected from it, or the light that is transmitted through it. The other colors in white light are absorbed. So, since we see leaves as green whether in reflected light or when light shines through them, green is the color which is NOT absorbed.

For this reason, the leaves of many plants appear green, as most other colours of light are absorbed (and therefore, are not reflected, and cannot be seen). When a plant dies, its leaves usually change colour, as the chlorophyll is no longer absorbing light.

∙ 11y agoWell, since the pigment chlorophyll is green we know it does not absorb the color green as to see the color it must be reflected from the material it strikes with light and not absorbed.

especially their leaves.

Chlorophyll absorbs every color of light except this?
Chlorophyll absorbs every color of the sunlight except for green. It is green and it cannot absorb its own color.
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
Why is a variegated leafed plant useful for demonstrating that chlorophyll is needed for photosynthesis?
Variegated leafed plant is useful for demonstrating that chlorophyll is needed for photosynthesis because variegated leaf is a plant which uses chlorophyll to absorb light so it can get its color
Does Chlorophyll absorb green wavelengths?
no
What makes a plant appear green?
The cells that are in the plants are called plant cells and within those plant cells there is a green pigment called chlorophyll in the chloroplast which gives the plants their green color. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and helps the plant with photosynthesis.
About what percent of light of this color does chlorophyll absorb?
6
What is chlorophyll composed of?
chlorophyll is composed of many lights that we see in a rainbow. chlorophyll a is when it absorbs all light except for the color red. chlorophyll b is the same as chlorophyll a but instead of not absorbing the color red it refuses to absorb the color blue.
Chlorophyll absorbs every color of light except this?
Chlorophyll absorbs every color of the sunlight except for green. It is green and it cannot absorb its own color.
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
What chlorophyll a and b absorb?
Chlorophyll a and b absorb BLUE-VIOLET and RED wavelengths of light best.
What color chemicals compound in plants that absorb light?
the colored compounds in them are chloroplast and chlorophyll that are colored green and absorb light for the process of photosynthesis....
How do accessory pigments differ from chlorophyll a?
Accessory Pigments absorb energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb.
What Does chlorophyll not absorb?
Chlorophyll does not absorb the color green. For this reason, the leaves of many plants appear green, as most other colours of light are absorbed (and therefore, are not reflected, and cannot be seen). When a plant dies, its leaves usually change colour, as the chlorophyll is no longer absorbing light.
What color range does chlorophyll absorb light energy?
Blue and Red -Mastering Biology 4th edition
Chlorophyll reflects which color of light?
carotenoids: absorb blue- violet chlorophyll: absorb red and also blue-violet reflect red-yellow reflect green
What color light does the chlorophyll in plants absorb best?
chlorophyll reflects green in color because it absorbs red color than any other at higher wavelengths. as green is the complimentary color of red it appears green in color
What molecules in chloroplasts can absorb light?
A type of plastids called chloroplasts absorb the light.
