Which of the following is responsible for the green color in plants?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)View answer ▾Hide ▴
Answer: Option A — Chlorophyll
Detailed Solution
Chlorophyll absorbs mainly red and blue light and reflects green light, so leaves look green; it is the main pigment of photosynthesis.
Carotenoids give orange colour, xanthophylls yellow, and anthocyanins red, purple or blue colours.

Plant Physiology & Nutrition in Plants — Preparation
This question tests your understanding of Plant Physiology & Nutrition in Plants, a key topic in the General Knowledge section. The detailed solution above uses a step-by-step approach to show the reasoning, and where available, a shortcut that helps you solve similar questions in under 90 seconds during the actual exam.
This topic covers how plants live and grow: photosynthesis, transpiration, respiration in plants, the transport of water and food through xylem and phloem, plant hormones, modes of nutrition in plants, and plant tissues. Questions usually ask what is needed for photosynthesis and what it produces, where it takes place (in the chloroplasts), which tissue carries water (xylem) and which carries food (phloem), and what each plant hormone does, such as auxins for growth and ethylene for fruit ripening. Insectivorous plants such as the pitcher plant are also commonly tested. Practise the plant physiology questions below, written in the style of the general awareness sections of exams such as SSC, banking, railways, CUET GAT, MAH CET and CLAT. Each question comes with a detailed explanation that adds related facts, so every question helps you revise more than one point.
