Explain why leaves look green in white light?

Question

Explain why leaves look green in white light?

Answer 1

leaves have chlorophyll which absorb all colours except for green.(white light contains different colours of the spectrum) the green light that isn't absorbed is then reflected into our eyes so we can see it.

Answer 2

Leaves look green because of the chlorophyll in the plant cells that are not in animal cells.

Answer 3

Leaves look green in white light because they have a pigment called chlorophyll that absorbs all colors in the visible spectrum except green light. Therefore, it reflects green and that's what we see.
