When light energy strikes a leaf then chlorophill (a) present in leaf absorb that light energy . By use of that energy photosynthesis occurs.

If A green leaf placed in a dark room is illuminated by red light the leaf will appear to be?
black
What part of a plant collects energy from the sun?
Green part of the plant having chlorophyll traps energy
What type of molecule is in a leaf?
Chlorophyll molecules are specifically arranged in and around photosystems that are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. In these complexes, chlorophyll serves two primary functions. The function of the vast majority of chlorophyll (up to several hundred molecules per photosystem) is to absorb light and transfer that light energy by resonance energy transfer to a specific chlorophyll pair in the reaction center of the photosystems.
What color does a green leaf appear to be in red light?
Black, obviously. The reason green leaves appear green is because when placed in white light, the leaf absorbs all the colors of the spectrum and reflects only green light. However, in red light, the leaf absorbs the red light but is unable to reflect any green light because there is no green to reflect. So, it appears black. Try watching green plants at night (or very low light conditions). That should give you a practical proof of the fact mentioned above.
What color does a green leaf appear to be in red light and why?
It appears black. A green pigment can only reflect green light and red light is a primary colour, that is it contains only red.
What happens when light strikes a green leaf?
the leaf reflects on the light so it prevents it to burn (fire)
What happens to sun light that strikes a leaf but is not trap by the chlorophyll?
It is either transmitted or reflected. Often, different portions of the light do both.
Describe what happens when light strikes a green leaf?
umm i think its absobed
When light strikes a green leaf all the colors except green are reflected?
sex
When the light strikes a green leaf all the colors except green are reflected?
sex
What is energy used in the leaf factory?
light
What does the sun supply to a leaf?
Light energy.
What does the sun supply to the leaf?
Light energy.
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.
What form of energy is taken by the leaf during photosynthesis?
Light energy
What happens to sunlight that strike a leaf but is not trapped by photosynthesis?
The sunlight that strikes a leaf but is not trapped by photosynthesis is reflected back by the leaf. Only certain wavelengths of solar energy is absorbed by a leaf.
How does light and dark reactions correspond with parts of a leaf?
Dark reaction needs energy. this energy is supplied by light reaction
