❤The most abundant pigment in plants is chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color.

❤Chlorophyll is abundant in plant leaves, where it absorbs light to provide energy for photosynthesis.

❤Chlorophyll appears green because it absorbs blue and red light but doesn’t absorb green light.

❤Green light hits the leaves of the plant and bounces off again, traveling to your eye and causing your brain to interpret the color as green. So, green plants appear green because of their chlorophyll.

✓ Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria (blue-green bacteria) all contain chlorophyll a, which absorbs blue and red light and looks blue-green to the human eye.

✓ Plants and green algae also contain chlorophyll b, which absorbs slightly different blue and red wavelengths than chlorophyll a and looks more grass green.

✓ Brown algae make chlorophyll c, which absorbs blue and red and looks green.

✓ Bacteria other than cyanobacteria produce bacteriochlorophyll, which absorbs blue and red and looks very similar to chlorophyll
