Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll molecules are magnesium-tetrapyrrole pigments that give plants, algae, and cyanobacteria their characteristic green color, and are the primary pigments used in plant photosynthesis (Kiang et al., 2007).
Detailed explanation-2: -Green plants have the ability to make their own food. They do this through a process called photosynthesis, which uses a green pigment called chlorophyll. A pigment is a molecule that has a particular color and can absorb light at different wavelengths, depending on the color.
Detailed explanation-3: -Since bacteria don’t have chloroplasts, photosynthetic pigments are found in their membrane folds. Blue-green algae, often known as cyanobacteria, have chlorophyll and are able to perform oxygenic photosynthesis just like plants. While plants evolve oxygen, other microorganisms do anoxygenic photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Green plants are green because they contain a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs certain wavelengths of light within the visible light spectrum.
Detailed explanation-5: -Chlorophyll. The green pigment in leaves is chlorophyll, which absorbs red and blue light from sunlight. Therefore, the light the leaves reflect is diminished in red and blue and appears green.
