Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Its name is derived from the Greek chloros "green"andphyllon "leaf". Chlorophyll absorbs light most strongly in the blue and red but poorly in the green portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, hence the green color of chlorophyll-containing tissues such as plant leaves.
Green on the visible light spectrum exists between the wavelengths of 500nm and 550nm
What else can I help you with?
Can plants which are not green make food?

Why are leaves greens?
Leaves are green because the cells form which they are made contain structures called chloroplasts which are filled with a green coloured chemical called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs all the light which is not green and uses the energy in this light to make sugars. Thus the green leaves of plants make the food that plants need to grow (and which animals get when they eat plants).
Why do leaves appear green?

Why do poinsettia leaves turn green?

The leaves of a plant appear green because chlorophyll?
absorbs red and blue light for photosynthesis and reflects green light, giving the leaves their green color. This pigment is essential for capturing light energy to convert into chemical energy in plants.
Where do plants make its own food?
There is a green pigment within their leaves. They use their leaves to absorb light, which they use as energy to produce suagars. Hope this helps. ^.^
What do chloroplasts do to leaves?
