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: -Within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast is a light-absorbing pigment called chlorophyll, which is responsible for giving the plant its green color. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll absorbs energy from blue-and red-light waves, and reflects green-light waves, making the plant appear green.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color, and it helps plants create their own food through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-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.
