because of its pigment
Chloryphyll is the only pigment. It gives leaves their green color
chloryphyll
chloryphyll and sunlight I learned this when I was 9
Fungi.
Photosynthesis occurs in plants, but not in animals.
Plant cells make glucose through photosynthesis in sunlight.
Chloryphyll and things. I only know this from seventh grade bio, so I don't really have anything to say.
The chlorophyll on exposure to light energy becomes activated by absorbing photons(photon is the smallest unit of light energy)
Before photosynthesis can take place, light must be absorbed by plants. Plants contain pigments, such as chlorophyll, that are capable of capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy during the photosynthesis process.
Any of a group of green pigments that are found in the chloroplasts of plants and in other photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria, especially: # A waxy blue-black microcrystalline green-plant pigment, C55H72MgN4O5, with a characteristic blue-green alcohol solution. Also called chlorophyll a. # A similar green-plant pigment, C55H70MgN4O6, having a brilliant green alcohol solution. Also called chlorophyll b. (source, Answers.com)
The cells in their bodies/structures. Plant cells have chloryphyll which is the stuff that makes them green and produces photosynthesis. However, animals do not have this and have almost the same cells as humans with the cell wall, nucleus, and cytoplasm.
For a animal cell: nucleus, the ribosomes, Golgi body, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, nuclear membrane, vacuoles, cytoplasm, cell membrane, chromosomes. For a plant cell: nucleus, vacuoles, nuclear membrane, cell wall, cell membrane, chloroplast, chromosome, Endoplasmic Reticulum, chloryphyll, cytoplasm, ribsomes, mitochondria.
