Why are plants and chlorophyll green?

604 viewsBiologyOther

I mean, I know plants are green because chlorophyll is green. But why is that? Is that particular hue any better or more efficient for plants, light absobtion or energy transfer? Was it just random that these molecules happen to be green? Or is green really better than other colors for this job?

Are they green? We only perceive them as being green.
