Answer:

Because the leaves contain a greater concentration of green chlorophylls than yellow and orange carotenoids.

This is because there is an abundant of chlorophyll pigment than any other pigment in the leaves of most plants.

Given that there is a direct correlation between product price and quantity delivered, the supply curve is typically depicted as a slope increasing higher from left to right. Certain ceteris paribus (other things being equal) requirements must hold true for this relationship to exist.
