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>

Which of the following is not common to both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell division?
julsineya [31]

The correct answer is: A checkpoint will be activated if the spindle does not attach to a kinetochore.

Prokaryotes, do not undergo mitosis (like eukaryotes) and therefore have no need for a mitotic spindle. Prokaryotes also don’ t have checkpoints foor the regulation of cell division.

Normal eukaryotic cells (unlike cancer cells), move through the cell cycle in a regulated way in order to make sure that cells don't divide under conditions that are unfavorable for them. Information about their own internal state (nutrients, signal molecules, DNA integrity) is signal to go or not to go through the cell division. Because of that there are few checkpoints in the cell cycle at which the cell examines the signals and makes a “decision”. The major checkpoints are:

• The G1- the first point at which it must choose, once it passes the G1 checkpoint the cell enters S phase

• The G2-the cell checks DNA integrity and checks if replication is done well.

• The spindle checkpoint-at the transition from metaphase to anaphase.
