Because of the natural process of photosynthesis that always begins by absorbing light from the sun through proteins. And these reaction centres contain green chlorophyll pigments.

<em>leaves appear green because the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll is present in the leaves .. when sun light or any other light falls on leaves ,this chlorophyll absorbs all the other colours of light and only reflect green ..so our eye can only detect this green colour and it seems that leaves or chlorophyll is green but actually the matter is with absorption spectrum..
<u>amazing fact :
</u>
if you fall red light on grass at night ,they will appear dark because they wont have any green light to reflect and they will absorb red light ..so our eye cant detect any colour :)</em>

cestrela7 [59]

Answer: More than 99 percent of all organisms that have ever lived on Earth are extinct. As new species evolve to fit ever changing ecological niches, older species fade away. But the rate of extinction is far from constant. At least a handful of times in the last 500 million years, 75 to more than 90 percent of all species on Earth have disappeared in a geological blink of an eye in catastrophes we call mass extinctions.

Though mass extinctions are deadly events, they open up the planet for new forms of life to emerge. The most studied mass extinction, which marked the boundary between the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods about 66 million years ago, killed off the nonavian dinosaurs and made room for mammals and birds to rapidly diversify

Which planet has a dramatic greenhouse effect, no moons and acid in its' clouds? *
drek231 [11]

Answer: venus

Explanation: Venus' thick atmosphere traps heat creating a runaway greenhouse effect – making it the hottest planet in our solar system with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. The greenhouse effect makes Venus roughly 700°F (390°C) hotter than it would be without a greenhouse effect.
