Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll absorbs light in the blue and red regions of the visible spectrum. Therefore, chlorophyll appears green because it reflects green light.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chlorophyll, the green pigment common to all photosynthetic cells, absorbs all wavelengths of visible light except green, which it reflects.
