The green colouring comes from chlorophyll , the same pigment that is found in foliage.
a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. Its molecule contains a magnesium atom held in a porphyrin ring.

all life on earth, the sun is the ultimate energy source, and the sun's
energy is captured by green plants. Green plants are often called
primary producers because they create carbohydrates and other
compounds using just sunlight, air, and water.

What basic unit of food is used for energy and growth?
The sun provides light energy which plants use to convert in to chemical energy through photosynthesis. Nutrients from the soil also assist in growth of plants. Animals rely completely on these green plants for their energy. Green plants produce chemical energy (food energy).
Why energy stored in green plants is classified as potential energy?
The energy stored in plants is classified as potential energy because they convert light energy into chemical potential energy stored in glucose.
What green plant pigments that traps light energy from the sun is called what?
the green pigment in plants that traps radiant energy from the sun is glucose
Which component of green plants traps solar energy?
Because of Chlorophyll present in it
Which best explains how green plants absorb energy from the Sun?
A photon strikes electrons in special molecules in the cells.(APEX)
How do organisms utilized the stored energy from green plants?
how do organisms utilize the stored energy from green plants
From where do green plants get energy?
The energy for photoshythesis in plants come from the sun.
Why do green plants photosynthesise?
Green plants photosynthesize to create energy. They are green due to chlorophyll.
Green plants use what kind of energy during photosynthesis?
The Green plants convert solar energy into chemical energy and with the help of cholorophyll they produse their food.
How does green plants and algae get their energy?
Photosynthesis.
When animals eat green plants the stored what in the plants is transformed?
in energy
Where does energy come from in the taiga?
The energy comes from all the green plants
What is the source of energy is a green plant?
The source of energy of plants is sunlight.
Where do green plant get their energy?
The energy for photoshythesis in plants come from the sun.
Green plants convert light energy from the sun into?
Chemical Energy
What do green plants need to release energy from food?
The energy for photoshythesis in plants come from the sun.
What captures solar energy and uses photosynthesis to produce sugars?
Plants do this in the chloroplasts in their green leaves.
