Where do the stem and leaves get their green color from?
A
glucose
B
carbon dioxide
C
oxygen
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: -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-3: -Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a green coloured, natural and the primary pigment, present in all green plants and in other photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria. The colour of plant leaves and tender part of stems are green due to the presence of this chlorophyll pigment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Green stems can synthesize their food by the process of photosynthesis. Green stems have chlorophyll.
