You may have noticed that there
are plants which do not have green leaves. Some plants are green because of a type of
pigment called chlorophyll. Plant cells
contain chloroplast which constitutes the pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll
absorbs red light and deep-blue light, hence, the rest of the sunlight spectrum
which is being reflected causes the plant to look green. When light reflects off on leaves into your eyes, the leaves take
in every hue of the rainbow, except for the color green, thus reflected into
your eyes and makes the leaves appear
green.
