While many fungi are white, non parasitic plants must have green chlorophyll to produce carbohydrates. And while albino plants are virtually nonexistent, variegated (green and white striped or mottled) plants exist, largely due to cultivation by humans for their aesthetic value.

∙ 10y agoSince albino plants do not have green pigment for chloroplasts to complete photosynthesis they will die before they get the chance to reproduce

Are the parents of a albino plant homozygous or heterozygous?
Yes, his initial cross was between two "purebreds" or homozygous plants for generation after generation
What small green plant covers stones and rhymes with cross?
moss! xD
A scientist is preparing a punnett square for a dihybrid cross of a plant with a genotype of GGKk. What possible gametes can the plant produce?
Gk, gk
Name the plants which are not in green in colour?
a little sun flower it generally is plant so yup yes its possible
Why it is not possible to demonstrate respiration in a green plant kept in sunlight?
We can't demonstrate an experiment of green plants because if sunlight is present the co2 produced in respiration will be used in photosynthesis. So we must conduct an experiment of green plants in a dark room.
What is the difference between an albino plant and regular plant?
an albino plant doesnt contain chlorophyll and a regular plant does an albino plant doesnt contain chlorophyll and a regular plant does
Can an albino corn leaf produce any food?
No, because to produce food a plant has to take in light and convert it to glucose (sugar) to be used as energy. The reason the plant is albino is because the plant isn't able to absorb any light. Likewise most plants are green because they cant absorb green light, in this situation the plant cant absorb any light leaving it colorless.
Would you expect any sexually mature plant to be an albino?
No, as chlorophyll reflects green light and is an essential pigment for plants.
Why can't you grow an albino plant?
Plant need chlorophyll, a pigment that reflects green light. So, you can not have a pigment free plant because that plant would not be able to produce food and structural material for itself.

Why is it not possible to demonstrate respiration in green plant kept in sunlight?
A plant respires in the dark.

How can a white plant and a red plant make a pink plant?
Depending on the genetics involved this may or may not be possible. If it is not possible then all you will ever get is white or red, never pink. If it is possible a cross will produce some percentage of pink in the next generation.
What is voiceless?
The legendary "roofcanini" is the only known voiceless plant, or subspecies of the albino black sheep.

Is photosynthesis only possible in the leaves?
Any psrt of the plant that is green. Some plants have chlorophyll in the stems as well.
