Why does photosynthesis only take place in green plants?

Answer 1

The pigment of-the photosynthesis process center is green which frees oxygen from water which is carried out by the chloroplasts of-the plant cells & other color pigment from other processes involved w/ carrying out around that process also adds colors of their-own which may not be noticeable.

For example: Some tropical plants are red because that pigment protects the plant from-the suns ultraviolet waves.

(From-the previous post) While I'm at it, the formula for photosynthesis is: 6CO2+6H2O -YIELDS- C6H12O6+O12

Answer 2

Because it is the chloroplasts - the organelles that carry out photosynthesis - that give plants their green color. Without chloroplasts, there is no photosynthesis. (To confuse the issue a bit, certain other pigments may be present in such larga quantities, that the resulting color may no longer be green, but photosynthetic plants are called green plants regardless of actual color :) )

Answer 3

tranpiration is the evaporative loss of water from the aerial parts of the plant .it is required to keep the plant cool during hat weather and to produce the suction force.it takes place through stomata,lenticels,cuticle so it can take place even in non green plants.

Answer 4

Photosynthesis occurs in green plants because they contain chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs sunlight and initiates the process of converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Chlorophyll gives plants their green color and is essential for capturing sunlight energy needed for photosynthesis to take place. Other organisms, like certain algae and bacteria, also undergo photosynthesis using similar pigments.

Answer 5

Because green plants contain chlorophyll which is

needed for photosynthesis.

Answer 6

No, green light is reflected by chlorophyll in the leaves therefore it does not contribute to photosynthesis. Blue and red light do
