My five year old asked me why plants and leave are green as opposed to being black, blue, silver, golden, etc. I know about plants containing chlorophyll but how do I explain it to her without sounding all science-y?
In: Biology
Imagine that sun throws a lot of red, blue and green little balls at the plant. The plant eats the red and blue balls to get bigger, but it doesn’t like the green ones and throws them away. They hit us in the eye and so we see the plant as green.
