Why is Chloroplasts green in colour.?
Because they contain chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorb energy from sun light.
Does grass absorb the sun's energy?
Indeed it does, and by the process of photosynthesis, it converts the CO2 from the air, and the Hydrogen from the water into complex carbohydrates. The chemical chlorophyll which enables this process is green in colour.
Where in the cell are the enzymes that carry out the light dependent reactions called?
in a plant cell, there are things called chloroplasts. in these is chlorophyll, which are what absorb the light from the sun and also give leaves their green colour.
What Does chlorophyll not absorb?
Chlorophyll does not absorb the color green. For this reason, the leaves of many plants appear green, as most other colours of light are absorbed (and therefore, are not reflected, and cannot be seen). When a plant dies, its leaves usually change colour, as the chlorophyll is no longer absorbing light.
How do accessory pigments differ from chlorophyll a?
Accessory Pigments absorb energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb.
How do plants absorb the sun's rays?
the chlorophyll inside of a plant cell traps the heat and energy from the sun and uses it to convert water into food for itself.
What color was the chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is green in colour.
What is the function of the chorophyll in a plant?
Chlorophyll gives plants the green pigment and its function is to make the plants absorb the sun light.
What role does chlorophyll play in photonthesis?
They absorb light energy. That energy is used for photosynthesis
What molecules in chloroplasts can absorb light?
Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b are the main molecules in chloroplasts that can absorb light for photosynthesis. These pigments absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy, which is used to drive the process of photosynthesis.
What do chlorophyll molecules absorb?
light.
Why chlorophyll is green in colour although it absorbs in blue and red region?
Light is white. White is a neutral color that is an equal mix of all the primary colors. Plants are green because they have green chlorophyll. The reason why chlorophyll is green is because when white light emitted by the sun hits a green plant the chlorophyll absorbs the red and blue light but doesn't absorb the green light so the green light bounces off the plant and goes into our eyes making the "plant look green". It is rather more complex to why the chlorophyll doesn't absorb green light and only absorbs red and blue light.
