Question

What is the main pigment in green plants?

Answer 1

The main pigment in green plants is chlorophyll.

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is found in the cytoplasm of plant cells in organelles called chloroplasts. The pigment's main purpose is to participate in the light absorption process that is necessary for the plant to photosynthesise and produce energy.

The reason why chlorophyll is green is because while chlorin absorbs yellow and blue wavelengths of light, it reflects green wavelengths to give plants their color.
