Green is the color between cyan and yellow on the visible spectrum according to so-called scholars!

Question:
Plants appear green because they;
a. They refract white light.
b. Absorb all light except green, - they reflect this color.
c. They turn ultraviolet light into green light.
d. Absorb green light and reflect all other colors.
Chlorophyll:
It is the light-absorbing molecule mostly found in green plants and some of the bacterias like cyanobacteria, which helps in preparing their food to be alive. Chlorophyll is found in the chloroplast, which is also called the kitchen of a cell, as it helps in preparing the food for plants.
Answer and Explanation:
Here the answer is (b), that is it absorbs all light except green as they reflect this colour. It is due to the characteristic of chlorophyll which mostly gains blue light with little absorption of red light of visible region but reflects the whole of the green light wavelength. Chlorophyll contains magnesium in it. Mainly there are five types of chlorophyll, but plant possesses mostly an and b.]

Science is subject to philosophy- for example, what is reality?

Is light a wave or a particle? Different mathematics applies

"Science can be defined as the study of knowledge of the physical and the natural world based on observation and experiments, whereas Philosophy can be defined as the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence."

That would take us back to the what is or definition question!

"So one might say that the proposition that grass is green is made true by the fact that grass is green. But then what is the difference between the fact that grass is green and the green grass? Are they the same thing? If so, and if the latter is a thing, then facts are things. Are they different? If so, can we deduce the observer-independence of the fact from the observer-independence of the thing (assuming, for the sake of argument, that green grass is observer-independent)? To answer the latter we must first determine how the fact that grass is green differs from the green grass."

Would grass be green if there was no chlorophyll or if we saw in ultraviolet only?

It’s the nature of… Marcus Aurelius noted
“This you must always bear in mind, what is the nature of the whole, and what is my nature, and how this is related to that, and what kind of a part it is of what kind of a whole; and that there is no one who hinders you from always doing and saying the things that conform to the nature of which you are a part.”]
