Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in cyanobacteria and chloroplasts of algae and plants which is an important biochemical for photosynthesis. It appears green because it is a poor absorber of green and near-green portions of the spectrum.

Chlorophyll reflects the green portion of the visible light spectrum, this is why most plants appear green in color

What pigments do most plants contain?

What are non- green plants?
non green plants are simply plants that are not green in colour because of less quantity of chlorophyll in some species of plants. as chlorophyll has a green pigment and it plays a fairly big role in photosynthessis, these non green plants have a little and that is why they are not green. yet, they can make food from sunlight with that little chlorophyll that they have. another explanation is that the non-green leaves live on saprophytic nutrition. examples of such plants are: blue colorado spruce and japanese red maple.
Do most plants leaves appear green because they abosrb green light?
The plants contain chlorophyll which in most cases has green dye in it. The plant appears green because they absorb all colors except green and reflect green.
What color of light would probably be the least helpful for this plant's growth?
White light would be universal, but if you had to choose a color, and the color of the plant is green, then green light would not help it photosynthesize the easiest, because green light is reflected from these plants. Just like red light would be reflected from red plants, it probably wouldn't be the best to use
Which wavelength of light is absorbed the least by pigments in the spinach extract?
