Why Grass Is Green?Like a lot of plants, most types of grass produce a shiny pigment known as chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs blue light(high energy, short wavelengths) and red light (low energy, longer wavelengths), but generally reflects green light, which records for your lawn's color.But chlorophyll is not just for eye candy. It also figures importantly in the process of photosynthesis, by which plants transform an inorganic material light into a useful, natural one sugar. Chlorophyll molecules absorb quanta of light and transfer the energy to special elements that can, when stimulated, fire off an electron that causes chemical adjust in the plant.
Further processes turn the chemical energy into sugar.When grass can just sit there and grow, we poor animals have to hunt down our food, which might seem a little unfair by comparison. But then, the grass is always Greener.....
