Plant appear green because they contain green pigment called chlorophyll. When sunlight fall on the leaves then chlorophyll absorb this light and some part of light reflected back and come into our eyes. So plants appears green.
Chlorophylls absorb light energy at different wavelengths. They absorb light maximally at blue-violet (400-500 nm) and red (600-700 nm) wavelenghts. Chlorophylls absorb light minimally at green (500-570 nm) wavelengths. Therefore, the green component of light will be maximally reflected when it interacts with chloroplasts.
The answer to this is due to Chlorophyll and the electromagnetic spectrum of colour.
Green is the color of trees, the global symbol of vegitation.
We see green when we look at plants because all the colors of the sunlight are absorbed by the plant except green. The green light is reflected back giving the green color to the plant.
Plants are green as a result of the green chlorophyll in the leaves.
Green light does affect plants, but it doesn't really provide much help in the plants' growth. Plants that are green absorb all the colors of light except the color green, which is reflected off the plant. This is why we see the plant as green.
See if they have cell walls
Plants and green algae have the same types of chlorophyll and carotenoids in their cells so scientists think plants and green algae have a common ancestor.
Plants get there green color from their chlorophyll in their cells
What is the green substance in leaves of plants? The green substance in the leaves of plants is a pigment called chlorophyll
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.
Green because everyday when you go outside most of the plants are green or have green leaves.

plants are not green,its light green
Green pigmentation gets lost. Plants does not become green. Why so? Did you see dried herb anywhen? It remains green.
Yes, only it is green in plants. This is why you do not see the blood when cutting a tree or picking a flower.
No not all plants are green
Plants and green algae have the same types of chlorophyll and carotenoids in their cells so scientists think plants and green algae have a common ancestor.
green the pigments absorb every color in the light spectrum but green.
