The chlorophyll is present but gets masked or hidden by other pigments. So that's how they carry on photosynthesis

Hi dear here is ur answer ✌✌
The different pigments use different colors of light. You know the colors of the spectrum if you have ever seen a rainbow. We can tell which colors a plant is NOT using because those are the colors being reflected to our eyes. They are absorbing and using the other colors. So your average plant, like corn, is reflecting the green light and using the other colors. The purple cabbage is using the green and other colors, and reflecting the purple.
Light at the purple end of the spectrum has more energy than light at the red end.
i hope it helps u buddy ✌✌
