Is jew's ears a fungi?
Yes, Jew's Ear is a fungi. It does not have a green pigment called chlorophyll, which allows it to photosynthesize. Only plants can photosynthesize. Therefore, it is a fungi.
What do phytoplankton have in common with green land plants?
They all photosynthesize
Describe how solar energy helps plants?
It allows the plant to Photosynthesize to make its own food.
Why are plants green in colour?
Due to the presence of chlorophyll plants are green in color.
Why are plants awesome?
Because they PHOTOSYNTHESIZE!

Why is phytoplankton is classified as a plant instead of an animal?
Phytoplankton are considered plant-like rather than plants. They are classified as plants because photosynthesize, which transforms light the sun into energy.
What organelle allows plants to photosynthesize?
The chloroplasts, which contain the green pigment, chlorophyll, which uses light to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.
Are phytoplankton plants or animals?
Phytoplankton are neither plants nor animals. Phytoplankton are similar to plants, in that they contain chlorophyll and photosynthesize. However, phytoplankton are not in the plant kingdom. Rather, the term phytoplankton is used to describe any photosynthetic organism that drifts in the ocean (that is, they do not swim fast enough to control where they are in the ocean and are at the whim of the currents). Included in the phytoplankton are photosynthetic bacteria ("cyanobacteria") and photosynthetic single-celled eukaryotes. Photosynthetic organisms that are not plants can be referred to collectively as "algae".
What makes the plants leaves 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.
Do plants which are not colored green not photosynthesize?
Yes they do photosynthesise, it is just that hey have extra pigment in their leaves which hide the green colour.
Describe how solar energy helps plants?
It allows the plant to Photosynthesize to make its own food.
Why are plants green in colour?
Due to the presence of chlorophyll plants are green in color.
What is a green material in plants that allows plants to make their own food?
Chloroplast, but chlorophyll collects sunlight and has a green pigment
Do plants photosynthesize?
YES!!!!
Do all living things photosynthesize?
No not all living things photosynthesize. Only green plants are capable of doing so. The remaining organisms derive nutrition from other sources. Plants contain a special pigment called chlorophyll in specialised organelles called chloroplast which convert light energy to chemical energy. Most of the animals survive by depending on plants for their food.
