Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What plant substance turns plants green and helps the plant capture light?
A
Eosinophil
B
Chlorophyll
C
Slime
D
Pollen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color, and it helps plants create their own food through photosynthesis.

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: -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. The molecules of chlorophyll are large (C55H70MgN4O6). They are not soluble in the aqueous solution that fills plant cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chlorophyll, a green pigment found in chloroplasts, is an important part of the light-dependent reactions. Chlorophyll soaks up the energy from sunlight.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chlorophyll, the primary pigment used in photosynthesis, reflects green light and absorbs red and blue light most strongly. In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll.
