what color is chlorophyll?
A
red
B
blue
C
green
D
yellow
Explanation: 

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.

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: -Chlorophylls are green in color and have mechanism to absorb 400 and 700 nm wavelength from white visible light. Violet colored leaves containing anthocyanin pigments are also present. These absorb light energy of other wavelengths but pass it on to chlorophyll for the ultimate photosynthetic reaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -The combination of phycobilin and chlorophyll produces the characteristic blue-green colour from which these organisms derive their popular name.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chlorophyll a is the universal pigment and the primary pigment. It is the universal pigment because all the photosynthetic eukaryotes and prokaryotes like cyanobacteria have it. It is the primary pigment because it is directly involved in the light reaction. It is bluish-green in color.
