Describe why you see fall colors during the fall season What happens to the green pigments that allows for the orange red and yellow pigments to be more visible?

Because the amount of sunlight is less and the weather is colder, trees allows the beta carotene (orange pigments), and other pigments, to be more visible compared to when the leaves have more chlorophyll (green pigments).


Why can't mammals be green?

Mammals cannot be green because they lack the necessary pigments to produce the color green in their skin or fur. The pigments responsible for green coloration, such as chlorophyll, are not present in mammals.


What absorbs wavelengths of light different from those absorbed by chlorophyll?

Other pigments, such as carotenoids and phycobilins, can absorb wavelengths of light different from those absorbed by chlorophyll. These pigments are found in various photosynthetic organisms and help to broaden the range of light that can be utilized for photosynthesis.


If yellow red and orange pigments exist in the leaves of trees Why do leaves appear green most of the year?

The green colour is produced by the Chlorophyll present in the leaves. When the tree 'shuts down' for winter, the Chlorophyll is re-absorbed, revealing the different colouration of the leaves.


Why are roots brown and not green?

Roots are brown because they contain pigments such as tannins and lignin. These pigments help protect the root from pathogens and provide structural support. Green pigments, like chlorophyll, are primarily found in leaves where photosynthesis occurs.

Why is eating vegetables healthy?

Eating some types of vegetables are healthy. Celery for example is not healthy at all. It is proven that they have "Negetive calories" which means that it takes more calories to digest it, than the calories it provides most people arent veggie lovers so if you arent one, then you can search up healthy dishes that you can cook that are even healthier that just plain green


Why do leaves look green during the summer even through throughout they have orange and yellow pigments?

Leaves appear green in summer because of chlorophyll, the dominant pigment responsible for photosynthesis. While leaves may contain orange and yellow pigments like carotenoids, chlorophyll's green color masks their presence. In the fall, chlorophyll breaks down, and the other pigments become visible, giving leaves their autumn hues.


How is chloroplast green?

They contain pigments which absorbs color of light. They reflect green light


What types of pigments does a cactus absorb or deflect?

The pigments something reflects is the color of that object. The cactus is green, so it reflects green and uses every other pigment for photosynthesis.


What is chlorophyll's pigment?

green 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.
