Plant-bio question
Not sure how to post a question but here is one that I have been wondering
about. Simply Why are plants green? I understand about absorption and reflection by photosynthetic pigments but my real questions is why have plants not evolved abundant molecules that absorb green light for use in photosynthesis. I know that there are some plants that have higher levels of anthocyanins and other photosynthetic flavonoids but why dont most plants? Also If plants did make more complete use of the visible portion of light what color would they be? I am guessing more like black or darker shades?
