Do green leaves absorb the maximum amount of light?

Green leaves primarily absorb light in the blue and red wavelengths, while reflecting green light, which is why they appear green. However, they do not absorb the maximum amount of light across all wavelengths; other pigments, such as carotenoids, can absorb additional wavelengths. Overall, while green leaves are efficient at capturing light for photosynthesis, they do not absorb all available light equally.


What gives a plant is green color?

When chlorophyll absorbs light, it aborbs all colors except green. Green light is reflected as the green color seen in leaves.


Why are leaves of plants appear green because chlorophyll?

All pigments in leaves are capable of absorbing the different colours that makes up white light except the green colour, which is reflected, hence, we see green.


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.


Is the color of a leaf light relfected or light absorbed?

White light form the sun is made up of :-Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet colored light (as you see in a rainbow)When this white light hits a leaf, all the colors exceptGreen are absorbed by the pigments in the leaf. The Green light is not absorbed and this is reflected to your eyes so that leaves appear green.

When light strikes a green leaf how does this explain why leaves appear green?

Light that is white contains all the colours. When the light hits the leaf, it absorbs all the colours apart from the green light which is reflected back out to your eyes. So you see the leaf as green.


What reflected by a plant to give it a green color?

What color are absorbed by a green leaf?

Green leaves absorb most colors of light except for green. They mainly absorb red and blue wavelengths of light for photosynthesis, which is why they appear green to our eyes.

Why are leaves greens?

Leaves are green because the cells form which they are made contain structures called chloroplasts which are filled with a green coloured chemical called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs all the light which is not green and uses the energy in this light to make sugars. Thus the green leaves of plants make the food that plants need to grow (and which animals get when they eat plants).


What happens when white light hits a green object?

The green object absorbs all colors of light except green, which it reflects. When white light hits the green object, the green wavelengths are reflected into our eyes, making the object appear green.


What happens when light hits green grass?

When light hits green grass all the constituent colours of light l gets absorped ini it but the green colour cannot be absorbed thus the green grass reflects it


What happens to the light when it hits a green object?

When light hits a green object, the object absorbs all the colors in the light spectrum except for green. Green is reflected off the object, which is why we perceive it as green. This reflection is what gives the object its color.


Do all flowering plants have green leaves?

yes they should have green leaves. Green leaves are green because they have chlorophyll which is needed for flowers.


What is the color of a leaf?

The chloroplasts in the leaf take up all colors of light for energy other than green, which is reflected. We only see the reflected light which makes leaves green.
