Question

inside many plant cells, especially those in a plant’s leaves, is a substance known as chlorophyll. chlorophyll is green, and it is responsible for giving plants their color. chlorophyll is stored inside organelles called chloroplasts. when radiant energy from the sun hits the surface of a plant’s leaves, the chlorophyll absorbs some of the energy and converts it into a type of chemical energy in the form of sugar. this process is called photosynthesis.

1. why are plants green?

○ because this color grows the best

○ because of chlorophyll

○ because of the cell wall

Explanation:

The text states that chlorophyll, a substance in plant cells (especially leaves), is green and responsible for giving plants their color. The first option is incorrect as there's no mention of color affecting growth. The third option is incorrect because the cell wall's function isn't related to plant color; it's about structure. So the correct reason is chlorophyll.

Answer:

B. Because of chlorophyll
