Grass is green because it has a special color called chlorophyll πΏ. Chlorophyll helps grass make food from sunlight, just like magic! The sun gives energy, and the grass uses it to grow big and strong.
When you see green grass, it means it's healthy and happy! π
Grass is green because of a pigment called chlorophyll π±. Chlorophyll is like a tiny green factory inside the grass leaves. It captures sunlight and uses it to make food for the plant in a process called photosynthesis.
Without chlorophyll, grass wouldn't be able to grow! The green color also helps reflect some sunlight so the grass doesn't get too hot. π
Grass appears green due to the presence of chlorophyll, a pigment essential for photosynthesis πΏ. Chlorophyll absorbs mostly blue and red light from the sun but reflects green light, which is why we see grass as green.
Photosynthesis is the process where plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose (food) and oxygen. Chlorophyll molecules are packed in structures called chloroplasts inside plant cells.
Interestingly, grass may turn yellow or brown if it lacks chlorophyll due to drought, disease, or seasonal changes. π
