Question

Leaves appear green because they reflect green color from light spectrum. The part in the leaf that is responsible for the reflection is

• A. Inner membrane of Chloroplast
• B. Thylakoid space
• C. Thylakoid membrane
• D. Stroma

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Thylakoid membrane

Chloroplasts are green because they contain the green pigment chlorophyll in their thylakoid membranes. Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs red and blue light. So plants are green because chlorophyll reflects green light.

So, the correct option is 'thylakoid membrane'.
