DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -As shown in detail in the absorption spectra, chlorophyll absorbs light in the red (long wavelength) and the blue (short wavelength) regions of the visible light spectrum. Green light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green. Chlorophyll is found in the chloroplasts of plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chlorophyll a absorbs light in the blue-violet region, while chlorophyll b absorbs red-blue light. Neither a or b absorb green light; because green is reflected or transmitted, chlorophyll appears green.

Detailed explanation-3: -Other pigment types include chlorophyll b (which absorbs blue and red-orange light) and the carotenoids.
