Why chlorophyll appears green to us in terms of what happens to different wavelengths of light that srike the cholrophyll?
Green wave length of light is reflected hence chlorophyll looks green .
What is the color of light not reflected by chlorophyll?
Any but green, mostly red and blue are absorbed by chlorophyll.
Why do you see plants as green?
Plant appear green because they contain green pigment called chlorophyll. When sunlight fall on the leaves then chlorophyll absorb this light and some part of light reflected back and come into our eyes. So plants appears green.
Does green light affect plants?
Green light does affect plants, but it doesn't really provide much help in the plants' growth. Plants that are green absorb all the colors of light except the color green, which is reflected off the plant. This is why we see the plant as green.
Where is chlorophyll found in the plant?
Chlorophyll is found in chloroplasts present in the leaves. Chlorophyll is a green color pigment that absorbs light energy for the process of photosynthesis.
Which light wavelength and color is reflected by the pigment chlorophyll?
green
What color of light is reflected by the chlorophyll molecule?
Green, red and blue are absorbed
What reflected by a plant to give it a green color?
When chlorophyll absorbs light, it aborbs all colors except green. Green light is reflected as the green color seen in leaves.
What color doesn't chlorophyll absorb?
The color of anything is either the color of the light that is reflected from it, or the light that is transmitted through it. The other colors in white light are absorbed. So, since we see leaves as green whether in reflected light or when light shines through them, green is the color which is NOT absorbed.
What color light affects plant growth?
red and blue, green light is reflected by chlorophyll give plants their green colour
What gives a plant is green color?
When chlorophyll absorbs light, it aborbs all colors except green. Green light is reflected as the green color seen in leaves.
What light wave lengths are reflected in chlorophyll?
Green light is reflected. Red and blue light are absorbed.
The light reflected most by chlorophyll is?
Green
Which of color is reflected by chlorophy2?
Chlorophyll reflect green color. That is why they appear in green
Why is grass green in color?
All plants contain the molecule Chlorophyll which is used by most plants in the process of photosynthesis. This Chlorophyll molecule absorbs Red and Blue light to use the energy from these wavelengths leaving green light to be reflected. It is this reflected green light that makes the leaves of plants look green.
Why chlorophyll appears green to us in terms of what happens to different wavelengths of light that srike the cholrophyll?
Green wave length of light is reflected hence chlorophyll looks green .
The color of an opaque object is the same as the light that is?
...reflected off of it. For example, leaves appear green as their pigment (chlorophyll) only reflects the wavelength of green light.
