black
What make a leaf appear green?
presence of Chlorophyll in the cells of leaf reflects the green spectrum of light hence the leaf appear green.
Why does leaf appear green?
it reflects green light
What color does a green leaf appear to be in red light?
Black, obviously. The reason green leaves appear green is because when placed in white light, the leaf absorbs all the colors of the spectrum and reflects only green light. However, in red light, the leaf absorbs the red light but is unable to reflect any green light because there is no green to reflect. So, it appears black. Try watching green plants at night (or very low light conditions). That should give you a practical proof of the fact mentioned above.

When light strikes a green leaf how does this explain why leaves appear green?
Light that is white contains all the colours. When the light hits the leaf, it absorbs all the colours apart from the green light which is reflected back out to your eyes. So you see the leaf as green.
Why does a leaf appear green?
because it contains a green pigment called chlorophyll
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.
Why is the leaf is green?
Because a leaf normally has green pigment in it called chlorophyll. These pigments absorb all the spectrums of the light except for the green spectrum, which is why leafs appear green.
