plant leaves consist of chlorophyll pigments. pigment absorbs particular wavelength for the energy production blue, orange other wavelength light absorbed by pigments but not green light. green light not absorbed so it reflected back. our eyes detect the reflected green light so plants light green.

Are plants really green?
plants are not green,its light green
Why only using green light would the plants look droopy?
Chlorophyll in plants does not absorb green light as they reflect this color. That is why plants are, generally, green as they reflect green light and absorb other wavelengths of light.
How would green plants grow in green light?
Generally, plants do not grow well in green light as the green portion of white light is reflected (this is why plants appear green), if a plant was subject to only green light it wouldn't take in as much light energy because it would be reflected, therefore, photosynthesis would not be carried out as efficiently as a plant subjected to white light.
What color of light would probably be the least helpful for this plant's growth?
White light would be universal, but if you had to choose a color, and the color of the plant is green, then green light would not help it photosynthesize the easiest, because green light is reflected from these plants. Just like red light would be reflected from red plants, it probably wouldn't be the best to use
Why green lights are bad for plants?
There is a reason why plants appear green. Inside a plant, the plastid chloroplast contains green pigment that reflects green light. This means that plants do not use green lights in large amounts (there are some other plastids that uses the color green, but there are few in number). So when you give plants green light, they cannot use it as efficient as they would if it was a different color.

What colored compound in plants that absorbs light?
Plants absorb more blue and red light from sunlight, and less green light. Chlorophyll is green, because it reflects green light
Does green light affect plants?
Green light does affect plants, but it doesn't really provide much help in the plants' growth. Plants that are green absorb all the colors of light except the color green, which is reflected off the plant. This is why we see the plant as green.

Why are plants leaves green?
they reflect green wavelenths of light.
Why plants leaves green?
they reflect green wavelenths of light.
Can plants live under green light?
no.

Why is grass green in color?
All plants contain the molecule Chlorophyll which is used by most plants in the process of photosynthesis. This Chlorophyll molecule absorbs Red and Blue light to use the energy from these wavelengths leaving green light to be reflected. It is this reflected green light that makes the leaves of plants look green.

What color doesn't chlorophyll absorb?
The color of anything is either the color of the light that is reflected from it, or the light that is transmitted through it. The other colors in white light are absorbed. So, since we see leaves as green whether in reflected light or when light shines through them, green is the color which is NOT absorbed.
