Question: Plants are green due to the presence of which pigment?
Options:
Carotenoid
Lycopene
Anthocyanin
Chlorophyll
• 🔑Key Points:Chlorophyll:
Chlorophyll is a pigment present in all green plants and a few other organisms.
It is required for photosynthesis, which is the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy.
The chlorophyll pigment is responsible for the green colouration in plants.
Besides plants, chlorophyll is found in all photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria.
Chlorophyll exists in several forms but chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b are the most common.

🔴Additional Information:
Carotenoid: Yellow, orange, or red pigments that give plants colors (e.g., autumn leaves).
Lycopene: Pink or red pigment that gives color to plants (e.g., tomato, watermelon).
Anthocyanin: Blue or violet pigment that gives color to plants (e.g., blackberry, plums).
