Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where do the leaves and stems of plants get their green color from?
A
glucose
B
oxygen
C
carbon dioxide
D
chlorophyll
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. Plants that use photosynthesis to make their own food are called autotrophs.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, plants and their leaves look green because the “special pair” of chlorophyll molecules uses the red end of the visible light spectrum to power reactions inside each cell. The unused green light is reflected from the leaf and we see that light.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants appear green due to the presence of a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is found in chloroplasts. These plastids are responsible for photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -All plants have chlorophyll, which is a green pigment in leaves and stems. Chlorophyll is a light-absorbing pigment, and it actually gets its green color because it absorbs blue and red wavelengths of light. The green wavelengths are reflected, giving that unmistakable color to plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -The function of chlorophyll is to capture the light energy of the sun and convert water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen.
