What else can I help you with?
Why are producers green?
Producers, such as plants, appear green because they contain a pigment called chlorophyll that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis. This pigment reflects green light, giving plants their characteristic color.
True or false When light hits a plant all of the wavelengths of light are absorbed by chlorophyll?
No. There are only certain wavelengths of light that plants can use for photosynthesis.Plants have trouble using green light because it is reflected by the chlorophyll pigment (that is why leaves look green).
Where does it occurs?
Photosynethesis is the process in which plants make their own food using sunlight. This light energy is converted into glucose by the chloropyl in the green leaves. The plants then use the gulcose for energy.
What plants make there own food using energy from the sun?
sunflowers Green plants
What is the name of the substane that makes plants green?
The substance that gives plants their green color is chlorophyll. This pigment absorbs mostly blue and red light, but reflects green light. It is the substance that allows plants to perform photosynthesis, using the light it absorbs to power the process of transforming water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.
What is a sentence using chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment of plants.
Why doesn't green light promote photosynthesis?
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.
Why can't consumer produce their own food?
Because producers are usually green plants which have the capability of using light energy consumers are not plants and can't utilize light energy
Why can't consumers produce their own food?
Because producers are usually green plants which have the capability of using light energy consumers are not plants and can't utilize light energy
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).
Why are producers green?
Producers, such as plants, appear green because they contain a pigment called chlorophyll that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis. This pigment reflects green light, giving plants their characteristic color.
What green organelle is found only in plants and what is it's function?
Chloroplasts are the green organelles found only in plants. They are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose) using water and carbon dioxide.
True or false When light hits a plant all of the wavelengths of light are absorbed by chlorophyll?
No. There are only certain wavelengths of light that plants can use for photosynthesis.Plants have trouble using green light because it is reflected by the chlorophyll pigment (that is why leaves look green).

Do plants grow faster certain colors of light?
Yes they do, certain colors provide certain vitamins/minerals and only sunlight has all the vitamins/minerals needed. Plants get vitamins and minerals from soil, not sunlight. Plants grow slowest under green light because chlorophyll reflects green light (which is why they look green). Plants grow faster under red or blue light. Sunlight is a mixture of red, green and blue light. Plants do get vitamin D from the sun, as do people. Plants do not generate vitamin D from sunlight. Vitamin D is generated in the skin of vertebrates and is necessary for maintaining the bones. The vitamins that plants cannot gather from the soil are generated using a number of different methods. Plants do not require vitamin D.
How different types of light affect plant growth?
The photosynthetic pigments of plants are more productive with certain colours of light. Green plants appear green as they have no need for green light; use only violet, orange, and red. Red Algae has no need for red light and only uses the higher frequencies.
What is the definition of photo synthesis?
the process in the green plants in certain other organisms by which carbohydrates are synthesised from carbondioxide and water using light as an energy source
