Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives plants their green color. It absorbs light most efficiently in the blue and red parts of the spectrum, but reflects green light. This reflected light is what our eyes perceive.
Based on the text, why do plants appear green?
A. They absorb green light for energy.✓ Correct
B. They produce green light through bioluminescence.
C. They reflect green light rather than absorbing it.
D. They absorb all colors of light equally.
Detailed Explanation
The text states that chlorophyll 'reflects green light' and 'this reflected light is what our eyes perceive. '
Key Evidence:
• "reflects green light"
• "what our eyes perceive"
Why others are wrong: A (They absorb blue and red, not green.), B (No mention of producing light.), D (They absorb blue/red efficiently, not all equally.).
