Green light does not promote photosynthesis because it is reflected off of a plants leaves. While most plants absorb all other wavelengths of electromagnetic rays from the sun, they reflect the wavelength for green light.

Which component of white light is not necessary for photosynthesis?
Green light
Why is the green wavelength of light little use in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll, the molecule in plant cells that traps sunlight energy which is used to power the photosynthetic assembly of sugars, is green in colour. Any molecule that appears green in colour when illuminated by white light (sunlight), is absorbing all the colours (spectrum) which make up white light EXCEPT the green part of the light spectrum, which it is reflected (so that the green light comes back to our eyes). Thus as green light is being reflected away form the plants, the energy of green coloured light can not be used to promote photosynthesis.
Why do green plants photosynthesis?
Because they have enough light and water for photosynthesis
Is green light used in photosynthesis?
Light energy is used in photosynthesis to create chemical energy used by producers to create organic compounds such as lipids and proteins, the sugars are then used to provide energy for the organism. The energy is then passed for producer to consumer in either a direct or indirect relationship. (Direct being first level consumers consuming the producer and indirect being second or third level consumer eating the first level consumer to gain the energy of the producer.) 10% of the energy is then gained and 90% is lost to heat.
What wavelength of light is the least effective in driving photosynthesis?
Photosynthetic pigments absorb blue, red and green lights. The wavelength of light that is the most effective in driving photosynthesis is 420 nanometers, which corresponds to blue light.
Which light has the least affect on photosynthesis?
Green light has the least affect on photosynthesis.
Which component of white light is not necessary for photosynthesis?
Green light
What light color causes no photosynthesis?
green
Why leaves appear green in photosynthesis?
The pigment responsible for photosynthesis (Chlorophyll) reflects the green wave length of sunlight when light fall on the leaf. That is why leaves appear green in the presence of light.

Can photosynthesis turn plants green?
No, photosynthesis does not turn plants green. Photosynthesis uses light to create glucose and oxygen with carbon dioxide and water. Plants are green due to the chlorophyll found inside them. It is the chlorophyll that makes photosynthesis possible.
What are the participants in photosynthesis?
The participants in photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, water, light and chlorophyll. The process of photosynthesis is how green plants manufacture food.
Photosynthesis is a process in which green plants convert to what?
Actually, the green plants don't convert TO anything in photosynthesis. Rather, they convert the light energy given off by sun light into glucose (energy).
Which component of white light is not necessary for photosynthesis green orange yellow red blue?
Green
What is the color of light that is the least useful to plans during photosynthesis?
red and blue light is most useful. But others are not.
Color of light absorb in the light reactions of photosynthesis?
Red and blue are absorbed, green is reflected.
What light is needed for photosynthesis?
sunlightBlue and red light is more absorbed. Green and yellow are not preferred.
