FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Plants that use photosynthesis to make their own food are called autotrophs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chlorophyll a is the chief pigment associated with photosynthesis. As we can see, chlorophyll a absorbs red and blue wavelengths to a higher extent. Green light isn’t rejected but rate of photosynthesis is more with red and blue wavelengths of light.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chlorophyll b absorbs mostly blue and yellow light. They both also absorb light of other wavelengths with less intensity. However, none of them absorbs green, so the leaf looks green because that light is reflected to our eyes instead of being absorbed by the leaf.
