Yes they have chlorophyll. 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.
"Phyll" in "chlorophyll" means "leaf." Chlorophyll is the pigment found in the chloroplasts of plant cells that gives plants their green color and is essential for the process of photosynthesis.
The leaf is placed in alcohol to remove chlorophyll and other pigments, making the leaf's structure more visible for testing. This step is crucial for experiments like the iodine test for starch, as it allows the iodine to interact more effectively with the starch present in the leaf tissues. Without removing the chlorophyll, the color of the leaf would interfere with the results of the test.
Chloroplasts are typically green in color due to the presence of chlorophyll pigments. Chlorophyll absorbs blue and red light while reflecting green light, giving chloroplasts their characteristic green color.
The green colour of the leaves is from the pigment chlorophyll
A darker green plant means that it has more chlorophyll to photosynthesise. A brighter leaf colour on the other hand shows that, that plant does not require so much chlorophyll to photosynthesise.

Ethanol can extract chlorophyll from the leaf, causing it to lose its green color and appear white. Chlorophyll is the pigment responsible for the green color in plants, and when it is removed by ethanol, the underlying white color of the leaf becomes visible.
Chlorophyll is green, and it gives leaves the same color.
When a leaf is boiled in alcohol, the chlorophyll in the leaf is extracted and dissolves in the alcohol. The alcohol may change color depending on the pigments present in the leaf, such as turning green if chlorophyll is present.
The leaf loses it's chlorophyll, which makes the greenish color disappear.

this is not a trick question it just needs thought a dark green leaf would have more chlorophyll because chlorophyll is the substance that causes the leaf to turn green
Alcohol is a solvent: It dissolves stuff. The leaf is porous, full of holes. When the leaf is placed in the alcohol, the alcohol gets into the leafs, and dissolves the pigments in the leaf, probably chlorophyll, which is green. This will turn the alcohol green.
The chemical chlorophyll is responsible for a leaf's green color. Chlorophyll is important in the process of photosynthesis, which is how a plant uses sunlight to produce sugars for energy.
The leaf is placed in alcohol to remove chlorophyll and other pigments, making the leaf's structure more visible for testing.

Chlorophyll A and B is what gives leafs their green colour.
