What else can I help you with?
Which single colour can plants use most successfully?
Plants most successfully use red and blue light for photosynthesis. These colors are absorbed most efficiently by chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy in plants. Green light is not as effective because it is reflected by chlorophyll.
Wavelength of light would you expect to be reflected or transmitted by chlorophyll a?
green
What light wave lengths are reflected in chlorophyll?
Green light is reflected. Red and blue light are absorbed.
What color doesn't chlorophyll absorb?
The color of anything is either the color of the light that is reflected from it, or the light that is transmitted through it. The other colors in white light are absorbed. So, since we see leaves as green whether in reflected light or when light shines through them, green is the color which is NOT absorbed.
True or false When light hits a plant all of the wavelengths of light are absorbed by chlorophyll?
No. There are only certain wavelengths of light that plants can use for photosynthesis.Plants have trouble using green light because it is reflected by the chlorophyll pigment (that is why leaves look green).
Leaves appear green because the green portion of the light that strikes them is?
Chlorophyll absorbs most wavelengths of light except green. Because chlorophyll cannot absorb this wavelength, it is reflected, giving leaves a green appearance. So your answer is reflected.
How does chlorophyll make a LeafGreen?
The pigments in the chlorophyll are green and the reflected light make the plant green.
Which light wavelength and color is reflected by the pigment chlorophyll?
green
What color of light is reflected by chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll primarily reflects green light, which is why plants containing chlorophyll appear green to our eyes. This pigment absorbs light in the blue and red spectrum for photosynthesis, while reflecting green light.
Which single colour can plants use most successfully?
Plants most successfully use red and blue light for photosynthesis. These colors are absorbed most efficiently by chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy in plants. Green light is not as effective because it is reflected by chlorophyll.
Wavelength of light would you expect to be reflected or transmitted by chlorophyll a?
green
Why is grass green in color?
All plants contain the molecule Chlorophyll which is used by most plants in the process of photosynthesis. This Chlorophyll molecule absorbs Red and Blue light to use the energy from these wavelengths leaving green light to be reflected. It is this reflected green light that makes the leaves of plants look green.
What light wave lengths are reflected in chlorophyll?
Green light is reflected. Red and blue light are absorbed.
What two wavelengths of light are least and most useful to photosynthesis?
Green light is the least useful wavelength for photosynthesis because it is mostly reflected by chlorophyll. Red and blue light are the most useful wavelengths for photosynthesis as chlorophyll absorbs them most efficiently for the process.
Chlorophyll of plant looks green because green light is what to your eyes?
reflected
Is blue light absorbed or reflected by a green leaf?
Green leaves appear green because they absorb most colors of light in the visible spectrum, except for green light which is reflected. Blue light is absorbed by the chlorophyll in the leaf, contributing to the process of photosynthesis.
What color doesn't chlorophyll absorb?
The color of anything is either the color of the light that is reflected from it, or the light that is transmitted through it. The other colors in white light are absorbed. So, since we see leaves as green whether in reflected light or when light shines through them, green is the color which is NOT absorbed.
