Why does a flower look red?
basically, Things get colour by absorbing most light and reflecting only a certain part. So if you picture a rainbow, the red flower takes in all colours but red, so that is the only one you see.
Is sugar stored in the plants cells for later use in photosynthesis?
Plant cells contain organelles called chloroplasts, which contain pigments which absorb and reflect varying colors within the spectrum of visible light. The pigments in green plants absorb all colors of the visible light spectrum, except for green, which is reflected, giving the green color we see. The color of plants is dictated by which colors of the spectrum are reflected by the pigments in that particular plant's chloroplasts.
What is a nucleus and how many kinds are there?
The term nucleus has two main meanings in science. The center of a cell contains a cell nucleus, which can be defined as an organelle which contains the genetic material of the organism. And the center of an atom contains the atomic nucleus, which can be defined as the part of the atom which contains protons and/or neutrons (all atoms except for the lightest hydrogen isotope contain both protons and neutrons).
Why does a dandelion appear yellow in white light?
Dandelions appear yellow in white light because they reflect predominantly yellow wavelengths of light and absorb other colors. The pigments in the flower, such as carotenoids and flavonoids, give it its yellow color. These pigments absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect yellow light, making the dandelion appear yellow to our eyes.
A nucleotide contains each of the following except a(n)?
Amino acid
Why does an apple reflect red color specifically?
An apple appears red because its skin contains pigments called anthocyanins. These pigments absorb most colors in the spectrum, except for red, which is reflected back to our eyes, giving the apple its red color.
What happens when white light hits red apple?
When white light hits a red apple, the apple absorbs all the colors in the white light except for red. The red color is reflected off the apple and that is what we see. The other colors are absorbed by the apple's pigments.
What pigments do leafs contain?
All of the pigments except for green. Leaves are green because that is the only color not absorbed and therefore is reflected.
Why is a red shirt red?
Red paint is red because it contains red dyes. Dyes are pigments that absorb all the colors in white like except the color they reflect. Thus a red dye absorbs all colours in white light except red. Light coming off it therefore looks red.
What are universal colors except primary colors?
black and white
Which organelle would you except find in plant cell but not animal cells?
Chloroplast
What makes orange ink orange?
Orange ink is orange because it contains pigments that absorb most of the light spectrum, except for wavelengths associated with the color orange. These pigments selectively reflect and transmit orange light, resulting in the perception of orange color. The specific combination and concentration of pigments in the ink determine the shade and intensity of orange produced.
Why does a specific color reflected by an object give color to it?
White light contains all the colors mixed together. A colored object has a pigment on its surface that ABSORBS all these colors except one. This one color is reflected back off the object. Thus, as we see the object by this reflected light coming from the object into our eyes, the object appears to be colored.
What organelle includes everything inside the plant cell besides the nucleus?
The organelle that houses most of the cellular functions inside a plant cell, apart from the nucleus, is the central vacuole. This organelle helps maintain turgor pressure, store nutrients and waste, and carries out various metabolic processes crucial for the cell's survival.
What colors does burple absorb?
burple absorbs all colors except burple
What happens when light strikes red apple?
The red apple absorbs most colors of light but reflects red wavelengths, making it appear red. When light strikes the apple, the pigments in its skin selectively absorb all colors except red, which gets reflected back and detected by our eyes, giving the apple its red color.
What colors of white light does a blue object absorb?
A blue object absorbs white light that contains all colors except blue. When white light shines on a blue object, the object appears blue because it reflects blue light and absorbs all other colors in the white light spectrum.
