Best Answer

Chlorophyll gives plants their green colour. There are other pigments in the leaves too, such as xanthophylls (yellows) and carotenoids (yellows, Oranges and reds). These pigments are also used in photosynthesis but occur in lesser quantities than the green chlorophyll. The combinations of the different pigments make different shades of green.

Now the reason that plants look green is that they are trying to obtain energy from the sun using a particular part of the light spectrum, mainly the red and infra red wavelengths.

the reason why a leaf appears green is because, inside the leaf are cells which we cannot see. we can only see these cells if we look through a microscope.

well one of the cells is called Chloroplast. Whatever obkect or thing has chloroplast makes the thing green. In this case the chloroplast has made the leaves green

The green pigment in leaves is chlorophyll. This is the 'active ingredient' in photosynthesis, the process that the plant uses to make carbohydrates.
