Active chloroplasts with their chlorophyll comprise the green that leaves have when they're alive and active. Other pigments, provided by things like carotenes and xanthophylls, allow for energy to be absorbed that the green itself couldn't on its own.
is it that the turgid cell has more red pigment than plasmolyzed cell
Leaves change colour because the green pigment (chlorophyll) is degraded, then other pigments like anthocyanins (red or purple) and carotenoids (yellow) are exposed. So the change is more chemical than physical. Leaves going brown are also caused by chemical changes, but it also means the leaf cells are dead or dying.
Leaves
The uppermost surface of a plant's leaves is where most chloroplasts are located, because that is where the sunlight will shine on them.
No, chlorophyll and glucose are not the same thing. Chlorophyll is a pigment found in plants that is essential for photosynthesis, while glucose is a simple sugar produced during photosynthesis that serves as a source of energy for the plant.
most plants absorb more water through their leafs
Plants rely on sunlight for photosynthesis (the process by which they make sugars i.e. food). They "trap" the sunlight with aid of a pigment - chlorophyll. This pigment is also responsible for the green colouration in the leaves. In the shade, a plant increases the size and concentration of chlorophyll in its leaves so that it is able to absorb more of the available light. It therefore appears a darker shade of green. Plants in full sunshine have more than enough sunlight for growth- hence they have smaller leaves with a reduced concentration of chlorophyll- their leaves are thus a lighter green.
Chlorophyll is what makes leaves green. It is a pigment that allows plants to photosynthesize - i.e. it allows for the absorption energy from light. Chlorophyll appears green because it doesn't absorb this colour of the spectrum very well; that it, it reflects green light more than other colours.
They have more than one pigment to cover more of the visible light spectrum and therefore be able to harvest more light energy.
Yeah they can have more than that!!
Darker hair contains more melanin, a pigment not an oil.
is it that the turgid cell has more red pigment than plasmolyzed cell
Yes
True. Dandelion leaves are high in vitamin C, containing more of this nutrient than most vegetables.
The roots are the parts that collect water for the leaves and flowers. It is the first part to get to the water, so that is basically why roots contain the most water.
White paint typically contains less pigment than other colors because it relies on the opacity of white pigments like titanium dioxide to achieve its color. Other colors require more pigments to create their specific hues, making them more concentrated than white paint.
No! The only difference between skin colors is Africans have more melanin (the pigment in your skin) than Europeans.
