Chlorophyll does not absorb the color green. For this reason, the leaves of many plants appear green, as most other colours of light are absorbed (and therefore, are not reflected, and cannot be seen). When a plant dies, its leaves usually change colour, as the chlorophyll is no longer absorbing light.
What molecules absorb light?
All molecules will absorb light to a greater or lesser degree
Colored chemical compound in plants that absorbs light?
pigment Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants. Its function is to absorb light for photosynthesis.
