Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where do the leaves and stems of plants get their green color from?
A
glucose
B
oxygen
C
carbon dioxide
D
chlorophyll
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of photosynthesis produces oxygen, which is released by the plant into the air. Chlorophyll gives plants their green color because it does not absorb the green wavelengths of white light. That particular light wavelength is reflected from the plant, so it appears green.

Detailed explanation-2: -Leaves are green in colour because of the presence of green colour pigments within the plant cell called chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, plants and their leaves look green because the “special pair” of chlorophyll molecules uses the red end of the visible light spectrum to power reactions inside each cell. The unused green light is reflected from the leaf and we see that light.
