Within plant cells, there are organelles called chloroplasts which contain chlorophyll. These organelles allow the cell to undergo photosynthesis by converting water, sunlight and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. The reason why they are green is to allow the most sunlight to be absorbed (absorb all other coloured wavelengths especially the blues and reds).

What organisms can perform photosynthesis?
Plants, algae, and some bacteria, such as cyanobacteria, are capable of performing photosynthesis. These organisms contain chlorophyll, a pigment that enables them to capture sunlight and convert it into energy through the process of photosynthesis.
What are the 3 things that plants need for the process of photosynthesis to occur?
Plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis to occur.
Explain your observation in nature your reason for the absence of no green plants in the depth of the ocean where it is always dark?
Plants are green because of pigments, including chlorophylls, that absorb light for photosynthesis. In deep parts of the ocean, where it is always dark, photosynthesis cannot take place (there is no light), so there is no need for these green pigments in plants that may exist there. Therefore any plants that do exist there would not be green, as production of chlorophylls would be a waste of energy and resources.
What are the needs for a plant to survive?
The main substance plants, just like all organisms, need is glucose which they produce through photosynthesis and then release energy by respiration. Others they need are nitrates to form proteins for growth, magnesium (and potassium) to make chloroplasts (keeps them green), phosphorus to make DNA
Do cotton plants use photosynthesis?
Yes, cotton plants do use photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy, and cotton plants are no exception. They use this energy to produce the nutrients they need to grow and develop.
Why does the grass green?
chloraphyll, the chemical need for plants to undergo photosynthesis
Why does the grass grow green?
chloraphyll, the chemical need for plants to undergo photosynthesis
Do green plants need sunlight to make food?
Of Course! They use Photosynthesis. (:
What contains green pigment?
Plants NEED it to do photosynthesis.
Where do green plants get the ingredients they need for photosynthesis?
Water is absorbed from soil . CO2 is from atmosphere.
What do plants need fro the chloroplast to carry out photosynthesis?
Chloroplasts contain a green substance called chlorophyll. This reacts in the presence of light to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose (and oxygen - a waste product of photosynthesis). This is one of the parts of the cell.
Why are green plants important to oxygen?
Plants produce oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis. Therefore, we, as animals who need oxygen to breathe, must have green plants in our ecosystem in order to survive.
What organisms can perform photosynthesis?
Plants, algae, and some bacteria, such as cyanobacteria, are capable of performing photosynthesis. These organisms contain chlorophyll, a pigment that enables them to capture sunlight and convert it into energy through the process of photosynthesis.
Why do plants needwater?
Plants need water to survive. Just like human beings, plants need sunlight, water, and air for photosynthesis to occur, which is the process of green plants making food.
What process that plants and animals use sunlight to make food?
Green plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food from sunlight. Only green plants can make their own food. Other plants (like mushrooms) and animals do not make their own food, but get nutrition from green plants (or dead green plants). Animals do not make food from sunlight. If they could, they would not need to eat.
What plants need for photosynthesis?
Every type of green plant uses photosynthesis.
What ingredients or raw materials do green plants need for photosynthesis?
Green plants need carbon dioxide, water, and light energy to perform photosynthesis. They use carbon dioxide from the air, water from the soil, and light energy from the sun to produce glucose and oxygen.
