Do leaves of plants carry out photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Carotenoids are a group of accessory pigments which occur in all photosynthetic organisms. They contain about forty carbon atoms, often without oxygen atoms and are fat soluble. They are chemically unrelated to chlorophyll and consist of rings connected by long chains of carbon atoms. They absorb light maximally at wavelengths between 460 and 550 nm and are therefore yellow, red or orange in colour as they reflect the wavelengths in this part of the spectrum. Carotenoids are found in all photosynthetic organisms.

Answer 2

Most leaves are green because they use chlorophyll, and the green is reflected since it isn't absorbed so well.

Red leaves use a different pigment that does not absorb red light so well.

Answer 3

Plants with non-green leaves do not have chlorophyll and do not carry out photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is masked by other pigments therefore they can still carry out photosynthesis.

Answer 4

yes it can photosynthesis this is because although the leaves are red the plant still has chlorophyll however the chlorophyll is hidden so the plant does not appear green.Also the order of color is determined by the wavelenght of light.the longer the wavelength of visible light the more the red color.

Answer 5

any color but green is best because it is healthy because it has chlorophyll which is made from photosynthesis

Answer 6

yes all leaves of a plant no matter what color or shape, they will always carry out photosynthesis .
