what is the relationship between chlorophyll and the color of the plants?
Also, how well would a plant grow under pure yellow light?..
Thanks

How are ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate) and glucose similar, with respect to energy, and how are they different?

plants doesn’t absorb green light well so we see green light?

by "we se green light" do you mean the plant leaves green color?
no…the green color in leaves are because of the Chlorophyll….chlorophyll is green in color - October 16, 2006 at 10:11 am #56745Dr.SteinParticipant
Yes, we can see the color "green" because the plant reflexes green light instead of absorb it. That’s physical phenomenon 8)

OK reflects would be the correct word, but you know, everyone is not a native english speaker on this forum, so it can be rude to point spelling mistakes. Not that the natives are better at spelling though…

Thank you canalon, that’s why I can’t find the meaning I refer about "reflex" when I search it in my dictionary 😳 Yes, that’s "reflects" 😉 I will remember it from now on 🙂
At least I brought the "rough idea" here and you make it perfect. We share 50-50 ok? 😆 😆 - October 17, 2006 at 8:26 pm #56837JuwaDParticipant
haha :P, that’s just grammer?
- October 18, 2006 at 1:49 am #56859Dr.SteinParticipant
It’s about spelling instead of grammar 😉
Hey, we can’t say "JUST" from Grammar. That’s because I experienced that. Wrong grammar, wrong meaning 😉

is this a question of green colour or about english grammer

Don’t worry, you will find this case A LOT in this forum 😆

yah, the sun gives off red and blue colors, and the plant leaves absorb all the colors the sun gives off except for green, therefore it reflects back into our eyes… and thats why when there isn’t any light things are black cause there is no light reflecting off into our eyes..

Why are plants green?
Well, the answer is very complex actually. plants are green because chlorophyll reflects green light and absorbes red and blue light. But why does it work like that? The answer- evolution. During the day, in bright sunlight it doesn’t matter what the absorbtion spectrum is, because all colors are present. But in the morning and in the evening red light is present as the majority of photons making up the spectrum of the sun. And blue light? Well, since the energy of blue light is the highest, blue light is the only one that can pass through clouds. So you see, it is very important for plants to be green.Why don’t people search the forum…
