The question that knocked everyone off their shoes. There is green everywhere. Artificial and natural, our earth is covered in it. Earth is literally bathed in it. Green leaves, green beans, green algae. My book is green and my school’s paint is green. But they don’t have chlorophyll. What is chlorophyll, really? And are plants green naturally because they contain this chlorophyll? And are the plants that have green leaves, the only ones allowed to photosynthesis?
Light is confusing. It can behave as a stream of particles. We’ll talk about chlorophyll in a moment. I just wanted to clear something up about light. And light, just like chlorophyll, is all around us. We’re bathing in it at the moment. The sun sends up billions of particles of light to us. Particles called photons bounce off your skin everyday and goes flying into something else. But photons can also behave as waves. And photons are tiny light bringers if I didn’t mention that yet. They’re the atoms that hold light. Light is different colors because they are different wavelengths. And here, look. I made a little chart for you!
