How would green plants grow in green light?
Generally, plants do not grow well in green light as the green portion of white light is reflected (this is why plants appear green), if a plant was subject to only green light it wouldn't take in as much light energy because it would be reflected, therefore, photosynthesis would not be carried out as efficiently as a plant subjected to white light.
Would a plant wrapped in foil under a light still be green?
No
If a green light is shining on a green plant in a red pot what color would the green plant appear to be?
The green plant would appear green. When white light shines on an object, the object absorbs some colors and reflects others. In this case, the green plant would absorb most colors but reflect green light, making it appear green. The color of the pot would not affect the color of the plant under green light.
What would happen to a plant exposed to green light?
Plants are green because they do not absorb green light, but reflect or transmit it. The light they absorb is mostly from the blue and red ends of the spectrum. So if a plant is kept in green light it will not be able to absorb it and so will not be able to carry out photosynthesis.
What color of light would probably be the least helpful for this plant's growth?
White light would be universal, but if you had to choose a color, and the color of the plant is green, then green light would not help it photosynthesize the easiest, because green light is reflected from these plants. Just like red light would be reflected from red plants, it probably wouldn't be the best to use
Why would most plants not grow very well under only green light?
Most plants will grow in white light, as it is closer to blue light. Blue light is the light emitted from the sun for the majority of the day. Green light has a very small place on the spectrum and therefore does not appear much. However, if the plant is hardy, it may grow in any light or even no light.
What pigment trapes the energy?
Since this is in Plant Biology, I'll assume we're talking about chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a green pigment, which means that it reflects green light. It "traps" (absorbs) other frequencies, such as red and blue.If you were to confine a green plant in green light, it would perish, but if you kept it in red light, it would hang on (though full spectrum (white) light is still better).
How would you demonstrate that green plant release oxygen when exposed to light?
You can demonstrate this by placing a green plant under a glass container with a light source and snuffing out a burning candle inside the container. As the plant photosynthesizes in the light, it releases oxygen, allowing the candle to be relit. This shows that green plants release oxygen during photosynthesis when exposed to light.
What wavelengths of color would you want to use for a house plant?
Light green. Go to google.
How well would a plant grow under a yellow light?
Most plant life needs full spectrum lighting. In early stages of a flowering plant, it would need a blue and green spectrum (achieved with usually metal halide light) and then switched over to a red and orange spectrum (using high pressure sodium lighting). Growing a plant under pure yellow light will most likely make the plant grow quickly, but wiry - the stem will get really long and the top of the plant will most likely fall over eventually). It depends on the plant. Pure yellow light uses the red/orange spectrum and cacti do well in this type of lighting. Houseplants (which prefer blue/green spectrum) would most likely do poorly in "pure yellow light".

If a plant is kept under green colored light for an exteneded period of time what will happen to the plants food production?
If a plant is kept under green light for an extended period, its photosynthesis will be affected as green light is not efficiently absorbed by chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for photosynthesis. This can lead to a decrease in the plant's food production as it may not receive the necessary light energy required for photosynthesis.
