Question

A person observes that some plants have deep red, violet and brown coloured leaves. Can these leaves carry out photosynthesis? Give reason for your answer.

Answer 1

The chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis is 'hiding' within the leaf color, whether it be purple, yellow or red. Our eyes lack the ability to see that chlorophyll is there. But these plants have their own chlorophyll. So they actually photosynthesise, but we can not see the green pigment chlorophyll

Answer 2

The deep red , violet , brown or other pigments in such leaves masks the green colour of chlorophyll
