Simply put, plant leaves appear green because they reflect the green portion of the visible spectrum. By extension, this means they do not absorb green light, thereby making these light waves essentially unavailable in the photosynthesis process. It's not quite that simple since not all plants or plant parts are green, but it will do for a basic botany course.
Green light is not absorbed well by chlorophyll, which is why plants appear green to our eyes. This is because chlorophyll absorbs more efficiently in the blue and red regions of the visible spectrum.
Chlorophyll absorbs light most effectively in the blue and red regions of the visible spectrum. It absorbs less light in the green region, which is why plants appear green to our eyes.
The green pigment called chlorophyll reflects most of the green light in the visible spectrum. It absorbs primarily blue and red light for photosynthesis, while reflecting green light, which is why plants appear green to our eyes. This property is crucial for their ability to convert sunlight into chemical energy.
Green light causes the least amount of plant growth because plants reflect green light rather than absorb it for photosynthesis. This is why plants appear green to us, as they do not utilize green light effectively for growth.

No. Actually they ABSORB all colors of the visible spectrum except green and REFLECT green light.
violet green yellow orange red The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye.
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.
Most of the visible light spectrum except green wavelengths is absorbed by the chlorophyll molecule and is usable in photosynthesis as a source of energy for plants.
