Well if it wasnt for chlorophyll, they wouldnt be leafy "green", they would be another colour
Chlorophyll is substance that is found in GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES and not in red-coloured vegetables as chlorophyll is the major cause for the colour green in vegetables
Their leaves are green
because vitamin A is present in green vegetables which vision in dim light.
Green comes from chlorophyll the photosensitive chemical in photosynthesis. It is only useful when there is light to exploit. There is no light inside the stem of the plant so there is no chlorophyll there.
Vegetables especially green leafs
Chlorophyll in dark green leafy vegetables masks the presence of beta-carotene
A plant has green leaves. The substance that makes them green is called chlorophyll. The plant uses the chlorophyll to photosynthesise which is the name for the process of it making its own food.
As chlorophyll absorbs light, it produces chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH through the process of photosynthesis. Additionally, chlorophyll helps convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
Yes, chlorophyll in dark green leafy vegetables can mask the presence of beta-carotene to some extent due to their similar green color. This can affect the perception of the amount of beta-carotene present in the vegetable, leading to potential underestimation. However, both chlorophyll and beta-carotene provide distinct health benefits regardless of their visibility.
Green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, and Swiss chard are some of the best sources of chlorophyll. Other foods such as green beans, peas, and parsley also contain high levels of chlorophyll. Algae like spirulina and chlorella are also rich in chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll refelcts the majority of green light, this gives plants (and chlorophyll) its green colour
Some household items that contain chlorophyll include green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, and broccoli, as well as green herbs like parsley and mint. Chlorophyll can also be found in certain algae and seaweed-based products.
