Question

I have always wondered why is the grass green and what makes it appear green, why can't the grass be red instead of green, oh wait it can be a mixture of red and green since those are the popular Christmas colors.

this question was posted because I love Botany.

Answer 1

grass (and other green plants) have a green pigment called chlorophyll in them which is used in photosynthesis

Answer 2

Answer 3

The grass is  green because plant cells have chloroplasts which makes them green when they get sunlight and water.

So, their chloroplast makes them green instead of red
