What is the substance in leaves that gives them their green colour?

The green color is caused by chlorophyll present in the chloroplasts of the leaf cells. Chloroplasts are found in plant cells; they have a green pigment which makes leaves green. In autumn, the leaves turn red and brown because the cells are dried out and dead. Chloroplasts trap solar energy (photosynthesis).


What causes a tree's to appear green?

Chlorophyll used by the tree's leaves to attract and trap sunlight energy for use in photosynthesis.


What is clorophyll and what is it used for?

Chlorophyll is a green pigment which is found within the chloroplasts inside plant leaves. It is responsible for the green colour of leaves. Chlorophyll is used to trap light energy which is needed for photosynthesis (the food making process in plants).


What causes a trees leaves to appear green?

It isn't the Gluecose that make the leaves turn green , its the Chlorophyll.


What is the name of the chemiical in leaves of green plants that is used to trap sunlight during photosy?

It is the pigment. we call them photosynthetic pigments.


How do plants make and store food?

They trap the energy in Sunlight using the green pigments in their leaves in the process called "photosynthesis". This process makes sugar and they store the food a polymers of sugar.


In which part plant trap solar energy?

Plants trap solar energy in their leaves through a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis occurs in specialized cells within the leaves called chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll, the pigment that captures sunlight and converts it into chemical energy for the plant to use.


Do plant roots have chloroplast?

NO, only plant leaves. This is because photosynthesis(assuming you know what that is) takes place within these leaves- so chloroplasts in the leaves trap photons(light particles) with a green substance called chlorophyll. The trapped energy is then used as food for the plant! The green in the chlorophyll gives plant leaves their green color! Cool, eh?


What is clorophyll and where is it found?

Chlorophyll is the stuff that makes leaves on plants green, and is found in plants. Not humans. In the plant cell, there are organelles (cell organs) called chloroplasts, they trap the suns energy and help convert it into energy, so the plant can survive.


What part of a plant collects energy from the sun?

Green part of the plant having chlorophyll traps energy


How are leaves specially designed to trap food?

Leaves are designed to trap sunlight, not food. They contain chlorophyll, which captures sunlight and uses it to convert carbon dioxide and water into energy through photosynthesis. This energy is then used by the plant to produce food in the form of sugars. Additionally, leaves contain stomata, small openings that allow for gas exchange during photosynthesis.


What pigment makes the leaves of plants green in color?

Chlorophyll is the pigment that makes the leaves of plants green in color. It plays a crucial role in photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy to produce their food.
