Question

True or false Croton is a non green plant

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Crotons are green but do not contain chlorophyll.

Answer 2

The statement is FALSE.

• Croton is a perennial plant which has wood-like stems and roots and has features of the leathery, smoother edge of leaves whose shape is either oval or like a lance in bright colours. These colours are usually blended in different patterns pertaining to blotching and striping, and occasionally the colour changes with the age of the plants.

• There are colourful leaves on a croton plant which include yellows, pinks, oranges, bronzes, reds, purples, and greens.

• Croton is a green plant because the leaves of the croton plant also have chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight for preparing food by the process of photosynthesis, but they seem dark red, the reason is that the higher percentages of other pigments anthocyanins and carotenoids which are present in them result in hiding the green colour of the chlorophyll.

Hence, the statement "Croton is a non-green plant" is false.
