Question

most plants appear green because chlorophyll
(1 point)
o reflects green light
does not absorb violet light
o reflects red and blue light
o absorbs green light

Explanation:

Plants appear green because chlorophyll reflects green light. When white light (which contains all colors of the visible spectrum) hits a plant, chlorophyll absorbs most colors (like red and blue) for photosynthesis but reflects green light. Our eyes perceive the reflected green light, making the plant look green. The other options are incorrect: chlorophyll does absorb violet light (so "does not absorb violet light" is wrong), it absorbs (not reflects) red and blue light (so "reflects red and blue light" is wrong), and if it absorbed green light (as in "absorbs green light"), the plant wouldn't appear green.

Answer:

reflects green light
