Why is grass green.?

Answer 1

Elf piss. Sorry, couldn't help it... Chlorophyll is correct.

Answer 2

Grass is green because it is envious of trees which are much taller and don't get stepped on like grass does. Trees don't get mowed every week in the summertime and sprayed with Weed-be-gone.

Just Joking


Grass and most other plants are green because they contain a pigment
known as chlorophyll. The chlorophyll is used in the process of
photosynthesis where a plant produces sugar in the presence of
sunlight.

Answer 3

Grass appears green because all of the colors in the rainbow are absorbed into the leaves of the grass except green.
Thus green is the only visible colour to us on the grass .

Answer 4

Grass and most other plants are green because they contain a pigment
known as chlorophyll. The chlorophyll is used in the process of
photosynthesis where a plant produces sugar in the presence of
sunlight. In fact the word 'photosynthesis' means literally to
synthesize or 'make' from light (photo). There are, of course some
plants which do not contain chlorophyll, and these generally get their
nutrition (food) by other means. Some examples are the fungi which
decompose dead, and sometimes living, tissue, for their food.
You will find that a green plant needs light to make food. If the
source of light is cut off, the plant dies. Mushrooms, which are
fungi, do not require light to make food (they decompose matter
as I mentioned above) and you can find mushrooms growing in almost
total darkness.

The process of photosynthesis is described in great detail in many
science books. It is really the process by which life as we know it
is able to continue and renew itself.

Answer 6

Interesting questions when you really think about it. The answer everyone gives is "chlorophyll"

But nobody bothers to explain why.

Plants don't absorb green light produced by the sun. Instead, they reflect it. That's why they appear green to us. Your grass is using the yellow and orange light from the sun, but not green.

Actually, the majority of the visible light from the sun is in the green part of the spectrum. It's likely that chlorophyll plants evolved underwater beneath red algae. The red algae used the green light and the green plants beneath it used whatever was leftover -- this also explains why plants aren't black, which one would expect if they were to make efficient use of all visible light.

Answer 7

Chlorophyll is the greening agent. It also is necessary for photosynthesis which produces the energy to make the plant grow.

Answer 8

well...

everything has a standard color... if you rather thar your grass would be white... You should ask for it!

:)

I'm just joking... with your question... I've learned why does the grass is green! :)

Have a nice day!

Answer 9

Can you imagine summersaulting down a hill and both the sky and the grass were blue?

Answer 10

it contains chlorophyl which repflects the green spectrum in the light and absorbs the rest.

Answer 11

Not all grass is green, mine is brown, and in Kentucky it is blue.....
