GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

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. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The green pigment is called chlorophyll. The term is derived from a combination of two Greek words – chloros that means ‘green’ and phyllon that means ‘leaf’. Chlorophyll helps in absorption of light from the blue portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
