What makes the sea look slightly green?
Algae or other small plant life that grows in the water can make the sea look green. These organisms are photosynthetic and so contain the green pigment chlorophyll.
Why does chloroplast look green?
Plants apear green because of chlorophyll--the pigment inside the chloroplasts. It absorbs red and blue light from the sun and uses this light to carry out photosynthesis within the plant.
What makes a plant stem green?
Some plants have green stems because of the chloroplasts within each plant cell. Although we generally think about the leaves of a plant having chloroplasts and making 'food' for the plant- the cells of the main stem of the plant, or its branches may also have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts can be easily seen through a microscope and look like flat green disks inside the cell.
Compare and contrast chlorophyll and chloroplast?
Chlorophyll is a light sensitive protein complex (with pigments associated) that is found inside chloroplasts.Chloroplasts are for making the plant's food. The chlorophyll are found inside the chloroplasts. It absorbs light for photosynthesis. The chlorophyll absorbs the least green light, and this is reflected out, making the chlorophyll, chloroplasts, cells, and plants look green. The chloroplasts use all the energy from the chlorophyll to make the plant food.
What do chloroplasts in a cell look like?
A chloroplast is a green cell, which gives the plant its green color. The cell wall surrounds an individual plant cell and is made up of fiber, and gives the plant its rigidity.
Why do plant look green?
The chlorophyll in the plant reflects green light.
Why do leaves look green?
Leaves look green because of a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses it to make food for the plant through a process called photosynthesis. This pigment reflects green light, which is why leaves appear green to our eyes.
Why do plant cells look green?
No all plant cells look green - only those cells that contain the pigment chlorophyll look green. The chlorophyll enables the plants to photosynthesize to make their food. The cells that are green are therefore those which may be exposed to sunlight.
What makes the sea look slightly green?
Algae or other small plant life that grows in the water can make the sea look green. These organisms are photosynthetic and so contain the green pigment chlorophyll.
Why does the leaf of a plant appear green?
The leaf of a plant appears green because of a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses it to make food for the plant through a process called photosynthesis. The green color of chlorophyll reflects green light, making the leaf look green to our eyes.
Why does a spinach leaf look green?
it has the pigment chlorophyll in it so it can preform photosnthisis
Does green paint look brown over orange paint?
Not if it has enough pigment in it.
When you look at a green leaf why do you see the color green?
a leaf look green in sunlight as it has green colored pigment in it. When sunlight falls on it all other colors are absorbed by the leaf as sunlight forphotosynthesis and green color is reflected to our eyes and the leaf look green to us.
Why does chloroplast look green?
Plants apear green because of chlorophyll--the pigment inside the chloroplasts. It absorbs red and blue light from the sun and uses this light to carry out photosynthesis within the plant.
Where is the green pigment found in Elodea leaf?
The green pigment in Elodea leaf is found in the chloroplasts, which are specialized organelles within the plant cells. These chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis.
Plants are green because they contain?
Plants look green because inside the leaves there are chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are green and they are there to help make energy for the plant using the sun to make glucose (energy). In autumn/fall the leaves dont need the chloroplasts because there is less sun so the plant turns red/yellow/brown. A plant also contains xanthophyll and other things that are coloured yellow/red/brown, the xanthophyll is usually covered up by the chloroplast. So when there is no chloroplasts the Xanthophyll can change the leaf colour.
What makes a plant stem green?
