Chlorophyll absorbs every color of the sunlight except for green. It is green and it cannot absorb its own color.

Chlorophyll asorbs every color execpt what?

Chlorophyll primarily absorbs red and blue wavelengths of light, while it reflects and transmits green light, giving plants their green color.


Does red absorb colors or color?

If you are asking what colors of the natural light spectrum are absorbed by the color red, then the answer would be every color except red. Any surface or object that you perceive as a certain color means that every color of sunlight is being absorbed by that surface except the color or colors that you can see. Sunlight is the combination of every conceivable or perceivable color; so in order to see an object as any one specific color means all of those other colors need to be 'stopped' or canceled out.


Why is the colour plant leaves different?

well this might not really be the answer, but every different textures reflect different colours, like a banana absorbs every colour except for yellow, and grass absorbs every colour except for green.... or the other way around...


Why is yelllow yellow?

It got sick of being mellow. Things that are the color yellow are that way because they reflect every color of light except yellow, which it absorbs. That's why things appear yellow.


What does the rafflesia arnoldii eat?

Rafflesia arnoldii is a parasitic plant that does not have chlorophyll to photosynthesize its own food. Instead, it absorbs nutrients from the host plant, typically vines of the Tetrastigma species.


When you look at a green leaf why do you see the color green?

a leaf look green in sunlight as it has green colored pigment in it. When sunlight falls on it all other colors are absorbed by the leaf as sunlight forphotosynthesis and green color is reflected to our eyes and the leaf look green to us.

What si cloropyll?

Chlorophyll Chlorophyll, green pigment that gives most plants their color and enables them to carry on the process of photosynthesis. Chemically, chlorophyll has several similar forms, each containing a complex ring structure and a long hydrocarbon tail. The molecular structure of the chlorophylls is similar to that of the heme portion of hemoglobin, except that the latter contains iron in place of magnesium. Within the photosynthetic cells of plants the chlorophyll is in the chloroplasts-small, roundish, dense protoplasmic bodies that contain the grana, or disks, where the chlorophyll molecules are located. Chlorophyll absorbs light in the red and blue-violet portions of the visible spectrum; the green portion is not absorbed and, reflected, gives chlorophyll its characteristic color. Chlorophyll tends to mask the presence of colors in plants from other substances, such as the carotenoids. When the amount of chlorophyll decreases, the other colors become apparent. This effect can be seen most dramatically every autumn when the leaves of trees "turn color." http://www.reference.com/browse/Chlorophyll


Why is a bear not blue?

Well, see, bears are made up of a very complex chemical molecular structure. The positrons comprising their fur particles are made of ryanium, which absorbs every color of the electromagnetic spectrum except for brown. It absorbs the color blue which is why it is not reflected back onto your corneas and the bear does not appear blue. This is why a bear is not blue.


How is white and black different and say it with detail?

White objects reflects visual "light" where as black objects absorb it. black the color is every color so it absorbs all the light(every color in the spectrum), and white is the lack of color so it reflects all the light(every color in the spectrum) that's why you get warmer when you wear black in the sun because it absorbs the sun and white reflects it.


Why is a yellow shirt yellow?

A yellow shirt appears yellow because it reflects yellow light waves and absorbs other colors present in the visible spectrum. This selective reflection process is detected by our eyes, which perceive the yellow wavelength and interpret it as the color yellow.
