The color green in plants comes from the chlorophyll it uses to make food from the energy of the sun. Some plants are not green and can make the food they need themselves using nutrients in soil and water.
braking some of the leaves off.
If the question was why are plants green , the answers is because of the clorophile from the leaves .Clorophile is a protein with a more complicated structure that has in in center a molecule Mg (magnesium ) which makes it green and there the plant green .Remember that not all plants are green .
Some plants with red and green leaves that thrive in both sun and shade include coleus, caladium, and Japanese maple.
Leaves get their green colour due to presence of a plastid called chlorophyll. This does the function of absorbing sunlight required for photosynthesis. Hence plants which survive on photosynthesis have greener leaves.
Some plants with leaves of the same color include snake plants (Sansevieria), Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema), and spider plants (Chlorophytum comosum). These plants have consistent green leaves, although some variations within the species may exist.
Some examples of green plants with red leaves that can thrive in a garden setting include Japanese maple trees, red-leafed coral bells, and red-leafed coleus plants.
Yes.-Some leaves are reddish, like a red beech, but these are still green underneath the red pigment.-Some leaves are mottled or piebald, especially in cultivars of certain plants. This rarely occurs in nature as the non-green bits of leaf contribute less or not at all to the plant's photosynthesis, and so will be selected against from an evolutionary viewpoint.-Green leaves sometimes turn red or yellow in autumn, and lose their green pigment entirely.-Some parts of plants that have other functions sometimes have other colors as well, e.g. the leaves near a flower (think poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherrima) or the modified leaves that make up a flower.-Finally, there are plants that have no need of chlorophyll (green pigment) because of their parasitic way of life: they suck what they need out of another plant, e.g. in the genus Orobanche.These are all the examples I can think of at the moment.
Plants with non-green leaves, like some succulents and variegated plants, may still contain chlorophyll in varying amounts. While they may not have as much chlorophyll as green leaves, they can still carry out photosynthesis, although at a reduced rate. The pigments in their leaves that give them their color may also play a role in photosynthesis.
The variegated plants, like the Caladium, have leaves that are never green. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, including white, pink, and red. These plants are prized for their colorful foliage.
Plants that contain chlorophyll include most green plants, algae, and some bacteria. Some examples of plants high in chlorophyll are spinach, broccoli, kale, and lettuce. Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy.
Some plants with red and green leaves that can thrive in a garden with varying sunlight conditions include coleus, caladium, and Japanese maple. These plants are known for their vibrant foliage and can adapt well to different light levels.
