Are some flowering plants normally a color other than green If so do these plants contain chlorophyll?

Yes, some flowering plants can be other colors such as red, purple, or yellow, depending on the pigments present in their tissues. While most green plants contain chlorophyll, which gives them their green color, some plants may have less chlorophyll and more other pigments, leading to different colors. However, these plants still typically contain some level of chlorophyll for photosynthesis, albeit in lower concentrations than green plants.


Does plants with non green leaves do not carry out photosynthesis?

True plants (as opposed to fungus) have chlorophyll in their leaves. They carry out photosynthesis like any other plant, but other chemicals in the leaves mask the chlorophyll, giving the leaf a non-green hue.There is also a species of parasitic dodder (Cuscuta europaea) which does not photosynthesize, and depends on other plants for nutrition.


What is the role of chorophyll inside chloroplasts?

Chlorophyll gives plants their chosen pigment, based upon their DNA. It is found in every plant, even ones with red or yellow pigment. Chlorophyll's green pigment is still existent in yellow and red plants, it is just hidden by its predominant colors.


Can plants use the nitrogen in the air?

Trees do contain nitrogen because they contain protein (the density of protein in plants is less than in animals, but plants still need some protein to carry out their various biochemical processes).


If the animal cell had chloroplast it would still have it same color?

No, the presence of chloroplasts in an animal cell would not affect its color because chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts and do not perform photosynthesis.

Whether plants with non green leaves have chlorophyll and can they carry out photosynthesis?

Plants with non-green leaves, like some succulents and variegated plants, may still contain chlorophyll in varying amounts. While they may not have as much chlorophyll as green leaves, they can still carry out photosynthesis, although at a reduced rate. The pigments in their leaves that give them their color may also play a role in photosynthesis.


How do plants with foliage that is not green in color photosynthesize?

Plants with foliage that is not green in color can still photosynthesize because they contain pigments other than chlorophyll, such as anthocyanins or carotenoids, which can also capture sunlight and convert it into energy. These pigments may have different absorption spectra than chlorophyll but can still be used in the photosynthesis process.


Do plants with non-green leaves have chlorophyll and can they carry out photosynthesis?

Plants with non-green leaves like variegated plants still have chlorophyll, but in lower amounts compared to green plants. They can still carry out photosynthesis, although at a slower rate. Variegation is caused by the presence of other pigments in the leaves, which can sometimes mask the green color from chlorophyll.


Are leaves green at night?

At night leaves still contain the green pigment chlorophyll, so they are still green. However, they may appear black in the absence of sunlight.


Does green light affect plants?

Green light does affect plants, but it doesn't really provide much help in the plants' growth. Plants that are green absorb all the colors of light except the color green, which is reflected off the plant. This is why we see the plant as green.


Does photosynthesis occurs in plants having red and brown leaves?

Yes. Plants with leaves with colours other than green still contain chloroplasts (which are the part of the plant which does the photosynthesis). The reason the leaves aren't green is because other colour pigments are more prominent and they camouflage the green of the chloroplasts... but they do certainly still contain chloroplasts and undergo photosynthesis.


What is the name of green leaves of plants?

If you mean the green pigment in leaves of plants, it's called the chlorophyll. But if you're really referring to the green leaves of plant, then sorry, I don't know. The answer would still be green leaves, if you're looking for the name of the green leaves of plants.


Do yellow leaves photosynthesis?

"So, plants with leaf color other than green perform photosynthesis just like green-leafed plants (if they did not, they would not live). The chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis is masked among the colorful pigmentation."


How did a plant without the presence of chlorophyll make its own food?

There is no such thing as a plant without chlorophyll, unless you can tell me straight that you have seen a colorless plant that you can see right through. Dead plants lose their chlorophyll, though.

How do plants with only read leaves carry on photosynthesis?

Plants with red leaves can still carry out photosynthesis because they contain the same pigment chlorophyll, which is essential for capturing sunlight and converting it into energy. Although the red pigments can mask the green chlorophyll, it still functions effectively in photosynthesis. The red color may also serve other purposes, such as protection from excess light or attracting pollinators.


What does choroplast contain?

DNA is circular in shape.But still double stranded.
