The chloroplast is the organelle responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, converting light energy into sugars that the plant can use as energy. It contains chlorophyll, a pigment that captures light energy for the photosynthetic process.
Photosynthesis does not have a specific color as it is a biochemical process that occurs within plant cells. However, chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis, is green in color, which is why many plants appear green.
The green substance in the leaves of plants is a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is an essential pigment by virtue of which plants are able to carry out photosynthesis. Chlorophyll pigment traps solar energy and converts it into chemical energy. There are many types of chlorophylls. The most important chlorophyll is chlorophyll a, which is the reaction centre of a photosystem.
This change in color in leaves during autumn is due to the destruction of chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for the green color in leaves. As the chlorophyll breaks down, other pigments such as carotenoids (orange) and anthocyanins (red) become more visible.
The leaves of a green plant would typically lose the most chloroplasts as summer turns to fall. This is because chloroplasts are primarily located in the mesophyll cells of leaves, which are responsible for photosynthesis. As the days get shorter and temperatures drop in the fall, leaves begin to senesce and chloroplasts degrade or are broken down.
chlorophyl is a green pigment and it absorbs light and turns it into energy
A chloroplast produces green pigment called chlorophyll, which turns sunglight into energy that a plant can use. Only certain parts of plants (which are green) have cloroplasts. Roots do not because they cannot reach the sunlight, therefore it has no use for it.
Chlorophyll, located in the chloroplast, turns a plant green
The chloroplast is the organelle responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, converting light energy into sugars that the plant can use as energy. It contains chlorophyll, a pigment that captures light energy for the photosynthetic process.
The process that turns plant leaves green is called photosynthesis. During this process, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a form of sugar that the plant uses for energy. Chlorophyll, a pigment that gives plants their green color, is essential for photosynthesis to occur.
Plants look green because inside the leaves there are chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are green and they are there to help make energy for the plant using the sun to make glucose (energy). In autumn/fall the leaves dont need the chloroplasts because there is less sun so the plant turns red/yellow/brown. A plant also contains xanthophyll and other things that are coloured yellow/red/brown, the xanthophyll is usually covered up by the chloroplast. So when there is no chloroplasts the Xanthophyll can change the leaf colour.
the moisture helps algae the green to grow

Other than by painting it yellow, all you have to do is cover it up, and the green chlorophyll pigment will fade. Grass under temporary swimming pools usually turns yellow and may begin to ferment (rot). Grass that stores its pigment during the winter usually turns brown (tan) rather than yellow.
There is pigment inside them. It is the same pigment that turns panthers black.
