Green light is reflected from green leaves.
The wavelength of visible light ranges from about 400 to 800 nm. (That's about 400 thousand millionths of a metre.) Photosynthesis is highest in the red and yellow wavelengths.
No. Actually they ABSORB all colors of the visible spectrum except green and REFLECT green light.
Blue and Red -Mastering Biology 4th edition
Trees appear green because of chlorophyll, a pigment in their leaves that helps them with photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, particularly from the blue and red parts of the spectrum, and reflects back the green light, giving leaves their green color.
Plants absorb different wavelengths of light for photosynthesis, but they do not absorb color in the same way humans perceive it. Plants appear green because they reflect green light and absorb other colors for energy production.
Most terrestrial plants reflect the color green. The photosyntehtic parts of plants tend to absorb the color red.
Yes, the color green does absorb heat because it absorbs most of the visible spectrum of light, including the energy that contributes to heat. The darker the shade of green, the more heat it will absorb.
Green
No. Actually they ABSORB all colors of the visible spectrum except green and REFLECT green light.
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll in them.Chlorophyll absorb red and blue color wavelengths making them appear green.
The colors you see are actually the part of the visible spectrum that the object does not absorb. For example, plants appear green because they absorb every color except for green, therefore the visible light that reflects from the surface of a plant only retains the green part of the spectrum.
Teal is closer to green on the color spectrum.
It depends on what kind of pigment the plant has. The color of the plant is reflected. That means every other color is obsorbed.
The chloroplasts in their cells contain chlorophyll pigments. These pigments absorb sunlight from all from all of the color spectrum except green. That light is used for photosynthesis and the green light is reflected back out and makes the plant look green.
A blue wall absorbs all colors in the spectrum except for blue! the blue light is reflected and that is what makes the wall look blue to us! same concept with a plant. A plant absorbs all colors for photosynthesis except for green, that green color is refelcted! therefore plants seem green to us!
Chlorophyll absorbs light most effectively in the blue and red regions of the visible spectrum. It absorbs less light in the green region, which is why plants appear green to our eyes.

Probably everything else that's not green.
