A plant that has a high amount of the orange pigment carotene would have leaves of what color?Explain?

Answer 1

Green, as in carrots. Orange carrot root, green carrot leaves.

Answer 2

You're asking about the leaves, they will be green. The tuber of the plant such as sweet potato or the root of the carrot or the orange fruit of the persimmon are all carotinoid containing. The leaves aren't orange, they are green, filled with chlorophyll.

Answer 3

Carotenoids are typically yellow and orange in color; think of a carrot. When carotenoids are present in leaves in high amounts they can overpower the green chloroplasts and the resulting leaf color is usually red or reddish.

Example: Japanese red maple
