It is either transmitted or reflected. Often, different portions of the light do both.

Leaf Cell's use chlorophyll to absorb what?
Light
What happens when you soak green leaves in ethanol?
Ethanol extracts chlorophyll from leaf .
Why should the chlorophyll be removed from the leaf?
chlorophyll is a thing that makes the leaf green
What makes a leaf green?
Chlorophyll is what makes leaves green. It is a pigment that allows plants to photosynthesize - i.e. it allows for the absorption energy from light. Chlorophyll appears green because it doesn't absorb this colour of the spectrum very well; that it, it reflects green light more than other colours.
Does the amount of light affect the chlorphyll concentration in a plant?
no. This is because light only affect the rate of photosynthesis and not the chlorophyll concentration in the leaf
What happens when light strikes a green leaf?
the leaf reflects on the light so it prevents it to burn (fire)
Describe what happens when light strikes a green leaf?
umm i think its absobed
What happens to sunlight that strikes a leaf but is not trapped by chlorophyll?
It is reflected (including the green frequencies that we see), or warms the leaf (it can be given off as infrared radiation or be carried away by air circulation).
When light strikes a green leaf how does this explain why leaves appear green?
Light that is white contains all the colours. When the light hits the leaf, it absorbs all the colours apart from the green light which is reflected back out to your eyes. So you see the leaf as green.
When light energy from the Sun strikes a leaf how is the energy conserved?
When light energy strikes a leaf then chlorophill (a) present in leaf absorb that light energy . By use of that energy photosynthesis occurs.
Leaf Cell's use chlorophyll to absorb what?
Light
Which leaf would contain more chlorophyll a dark green leaf or a light green leaf Is this a trick question?
this is not a trick question it just needs thought a dark green leaf would have more chlorophyll because chlorophyll is the substance that causes the leaf to turn green
Why is a leaf dark green on one side and light on the other?
Because the amount of chlorophyll in the top of leaf is much greater than the amount of chlorophyll in the bottom of leaf. As the chlorophyll is green in colour that's why the top portion of leaf is more green in colour.
What are the organelles that contain chlorophyll in a leaf?
Chlorophyll is found in the chloroplasts of the leaf. When light, carbon dioxide, and water come together in the leaf cells, the cells undergo photosynthesis, creating glucose.
What happens when you soak green leaves in ethanol?
Ethanol extracts chlorophyll from leaf .
What in the leaf actually traps the sunlight to turn into useful energy?
on the leaf there is chloroplast. inside chloroplast there is chlorophyll. the chlorophyll is the green substance that takes in sunlight. then the chlorplast takes the sunlight from the chlorophyll and uses water and nutrients to make the food for the plant. this system is called photosynthesis. the process happens in the leaf with chloroplast and chlorophyll
What make a leaf appear green?
presence of Chlorophyll in the cells of leaf reflects the green spectrum of light hence the leaf appear green.
