because of chlorophyll
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoLeaves appear green because of a pigment called chlorophyll, which is used in photosynthesis to absorb light energy. Chlorophyll reflects green light, which is why most leaves appear green to our eyes.
The leaves of a lime tree are typically broad. They are usually ovate or elliptical in shape with a glossy green color.
The green pigment in leaves is chlorophyll, which breaks down in the fall due to changes in light and temperature. As the chlorophyll breaks down, other pigments that were present in the leaf but masked by the green chlorophyll become visible, leading to the beautiful array of fall colors.
During the fall, the decrease in sunlight triggers trees to stop producing chlorophyll, the green pigment responsible for photosynthesis. As the chlorophyll breaks down, other pigments such as carotenoids (yellow and orange) and anthocyanins (red and purple) become more visible, leading to the vibrant colors seen in autumn leaves.
The riddle is referring to a plant - when young, it can be eaten (like a vegetable) and when old and tall with green leaves, it can be used to build a house (like bamboo).
The rate of photosynthesis is highest under blue and red light because chlorophyll pigments absorb these wavelengths most efficiently. These colors correspond to the peaks of the absorption spectrum for chlorophyll a and b.
The leaves of most plants appear green because they contain chlorophyll.
leaves give trees energy from the sun, using photosynthesis. They do this using chlorophyl, which makes most leaves appear to be green. Leaves that appear red just mean that these leaves don't have much chlorophyl in them.
Chlorophyll makes leaves appear green.
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.
Chlorophyll
It isn't the Gluecose that make the leaves turn green , its the Chlorophyll.
The pigment responsible for photosynthesis (Chlorophyll) reflects the green wave length of sunlight when light fall on the leaf. That is why leaves appear green in the presence of light.
Chlorophyll absorbs most wavelengths of light except green. Because chlorophyll cannot absorb this wavelength, it is reflected, giving leaves a green appearance. So your answer is reflected.
Leaves appear green because they reflect green light while absorbing other colors. This is due to the presence of chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs most wavelengths of light except green.
Most plants appear green because they contain a pigment called chlorophyll, which absorbs red and blue light well, but reflects green light. This reflection of green light is what gives plants their green color.
Leaves appear green most of the year because they contain chlorophyll, a pigment responsible for absorbing sunlight and converting it into energy for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll masks the other pigments (yellow, red, orange) present in the leaves, giving them their green color. During the fall, as chlorophyll breaks down, these other pigments become more visible, creating the vibrant autumn colors.
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.
