Why are certain plants and their flowers/fruit different colors? Sounds like a dumb question but do different pigments/colors give any potential benefits like increased sunlight absorption or anything of that aspect?
In: Biology
Theres a couple different colors of chlorophyll, which are the pigments in plants that absorb light for photosynthesis. Those appearly mostly green, with some being purple or red. Flowers usually appear in different colors more suited for attracting pollinators like bees. They need them to spread pollen around to other members of the same species.
