Plants have several leaf pigments, including chlorophyll (green) and beta- carotene (yellow). The reason that beta-carotene is yellow is because beta-carotene: Absorbs all colors of light except for yellow Absorbs yellow light Absorbs all colors of the spectrum Reflects all colors except for yellow

Photosynthesis

Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials required). Photosynthesis is the method of assembling carbohydrates with the aid of sunlight.
