What else can I help you with?
The color of an opaque object is the same as the light that is?
...reflected off of it. For example, leaves appear green as their pigment (chlorophyll) only reflects the wavelength of green light.
The green color of leaves is due to the presence of what pigment?
chlorophyll- and their green because that is the wavelength of light that the pigment reflects the most
What happens when light hits a pigment?
When a chlorophyll molecule absorbs a photon of light, Photons strike the "antenna" of the chlorophyll molecule. This causes electrons in the photo-reaction centers that are attached to the antennas to become excited and move to a higher energy level. That's photoexcitation. The valence electrons in Magnesium (part of the chlorophyl molecule) jump to an excited state.
What makes chloroplasts green?
Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll. This is what makes plants greenBecause they contain the chemical chlorophyll which has a green pigment (pigment = a substance which produces a characteristic colour as a result of the colour (of light) being reflected because of its wavelength - see EM spectrum).sunlight
What is the pigment that gives a plant its green color?
Chlorophyll a is the most abundant pigment and it is the pigment that reflects green.
The pigment that gives plants their color is?
Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b
Why is the Light from your plants Green?
plant leaves consist of chlorophyll pigments. pigment absorbs particular wavelength for the energy production blue, orange other wavelength light absorbed by pigments but not green light. green light not absorbed so it reflected back. our eyes detect the reflected green light so plants light green.
What color pigment is chlorophyll?
green pigments
What accounts for the green color in plants and why do you see the plants as green?
In a plant cell, the most abundant plastid is the chloroplast, which contains the pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs most of the sunlight, but reflects the green, which is why you see green. It is reflected from the pigments inside the chloroplast.
The pigment that gives plants their green color is?
Chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll in plant cells?
Chlorophyll the pigment in plant cells that give them the green color.
What pigment gives chloroplast their green color?
Chlorophyll, sorry if it's misspelled
