why is the grass green everywhere?

Answer 1

Cos it has been well watered this year!!

Answer 2

Actually grass is not supposed to be green EVERYwhere. It is said that in California, you're not suppose to have GREEN grass, due to the dry weather. And so if grass is green everywhere, like you're saying, then we are wasting water on the wrong things.

Answer 3

I think Toj got it nearly right :-)
Grass is green because the chlorophyll in it is green. Chlorophyll is the stuff that uses light energy to create food for the plant (and so animals too). The only colour light it doesn't use is the green light (I don't know why). It reflects that back out again so that's what you see.
All the other plants that have other colour leaves reflect that colour too & it overpowers the green light so you see that colour instead.

Answer 4

Grass, what grass all we can see in the fields at the moment is flood water! But it should be lovely and green when the water goes down.

Answer 5

Grass is green because it has a substance called chlorophyll in it. Evolution has matched the colour absorbance of chlorophyll to the actual color of the sunlight that reaches the leaves. Sunlight consists of primarily blue and red light mixed together, which are exactly the colors that chlorophyll molecules like to absorb.

Answer 6

Basic reason is chloroplasts. These cells convert CO2 and sunlight into energy and food for the plant. It is namely photosynthesis as with most above ground plants, also algae behave in much the same way, but there are other aquatic plants that have different coloured algae called blue-green containing cyanobacteria.

Answer 7

Because grass has chlorophyll, which is a green pigment.

Answer 8

The more grass you do the greener it looks.

Answer 9

You've apparently never been to the Bluegrass State.

Answer 10

it is not. Californian is burring the grass up as well as what few trees they have left.
