Plants have mesophyll cells that contain chloroplasts. In most green plants, chlorophyll a, chrlorophyll b (an accessory pigment), and carotenoids are the dominant photopigments. Each pigment is able to absorb the photons of light energy from sunlight and use it to complete photosynthesis. Chlorophyll a absorbs most energy from wavelengths of violet-blue and orange-red light and chlorophyll b absorbs mainly blue light. However, no photopigments in green plants are able to absorb green light. Thus, light not absorbed is reflected by the pigments, allowing the plants to appear the color green. When placed under a green light source, the pigments do not receive a sufficient amount of light energy to disrupt the reaction center of the photosystems essential for photosynthesis to occur.

Should plants grow better in the red light or the green light?
RED do not try green it will not turn out as well
How would green plants grow in green light?
Generally, plants do not grow well in green light as the green portion of white light is reflected (this is why plants appear green), if a plant was subject to only green light it wouldn't take in as much light energy because it would be reflected, therefore, photosynthesis would not be carried out as efficiently as a plant subjected to white light.
Why would most plants not grow very well under only green light?
Most plants will grow in white light, as it is closer to blue light. Blue light is the light emitted from the sun for the majority of the day. Green light has a very small place on the spectrum and therefore does not appear much. However, if the plant is hardy, it may grow in any light or even no light.
What light do plants grow better in?
plants grow very well on the sunlight. it can prepare photosynthesis with this sunlight. it gets lots of vitamin-D in the sunlight
How well do plants grow under yellow light?
Good
Why are there no plants in midnight zone?
well maybe because plants need light to grow...?
How well would plants grow in pure yellow light?
Not well. The spectrum of light as well as the duration of day/night cycles trigger development and reproduction in plants.
When do green plants transpire most?
green plants transpire the most if you are watering it and giving the manure in order for them to transpire or grow very well
How well do plants grow in pure yellow light?
like heck
Does plants grow well from light given out by a man-made light source?
yeah it can i think
What colored light will make a plant grow fast?
Plants appear green- this is because they absorb red and blue light- these wavelengths of light are harnessed by two 'photosystems' called 1 & 2 - there fore to make a plant grow well use a combination of red and blue light
Where do wild flowers grow?
different plants grow in different places, but most plants grow in the light. plants need warmth, air and water to live
