In simple terms, chlorophyll makes a leaf look green because it reflects only green light. Answering in a more detailed fashion, chlorophyll is a pigment. As a pigment it absorbs some wavelengths of visible light, (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet are the colors of visible light), while reflecting others. In specific, chlorophyll absorbs all other colors of light but green, which it reflects. It is this reflection of green light that cause a leaf to appear green.

______ is a force of attraction that occurs between objects due to their mass. A. Weight B. Magnetism C. Deposition D. Gravity
nataly862011 [7]
The answer is D. Gravity.

Gravity attracts objects to the surface of the Earth. Take a falling brick, for example, the brick has more mass, therefore, there is more attraction between the brick and Gravity. The brick is a solid object and is heavier as well.

Hope this helps! :)
