NON GREEN PLANTS

 

    Sometimes our curious mind might have questioned on how these plants with non-green leaves prepare its food ??

For a person with basic knowledge of science, it is quite obvious that plants require a green pigment called chlorophyll which is necessary to prepare food. So don't these plants make their own food?? With some in-depth studies, one can understand that chlorophyll is green because it absorbs all other colors of the visible spectrum. In plants like the one shown, leaves have 'Carotenoids' in addition to chlorophyll. These help the plants in other ways such as absorbing UV rays.

                In the same way, every being on this planet can cater to the basic necessity of food, no matter the appearance or anatomy. As a human being, we must rise above this, and develop ourselves to serve the greater good.
