which of the following is a non green plant
cactus,croton,neem
Answers
A green plant is basically a photosynthetic plant with a characteristic green color due to the present chloroplast that contains chlorophyll that gives the plant their green color
A non-green plant is basically a plant that has no pigment chlorophyll this denies these plants the ability to carry out photosynthesis. This also makes non-green plant to have different color e.g brown or reddish
Therefore, in this case the plant that is non-green is the croton.
Solution :-
All the three options of the above question are wrong because croton, cactus and neem are green plants and all three have chlorophyll pigment.
Plants which do not have chlorophyll are called non-green plants. They cannot make their own food and usually absorb food from other plants. Examples of non-green plants are mushroom, fungus, toadstools etc.
Cactus is a green plant and its stem contains chlorophyll. Cactus make its iwn food in the presence of sunlight.
Croton is a green plant, and chlorophyll is present in it but it is hidden by dark red color and so, croton are able to synthesizes its food on its own.
Neem is a green plant and has chlorophyll pigment. Neem makes its food in the presence of sunlight.
