Why are most leaves green?

Liana      : Do you know why most leaves are green?

Cindy     : I don’t know. How about you?

Liana      : I also don’t know. How if we ask our biology teacher?

Cindy     : Good idea. Let’s go now. Hope he has a free time.

Cindy     : Good morning Mrs Astuti. How are you today?

Mrs Astuti           : Good morning, girls. I’m just fine. How about you?

Liana      : We are also fine. Are you busy at the moment?

Mrs Astuti           : Not so. Is there anything I can help?

Cindy     : We have one question. Why are most leaves green?

Mrs Astuti           : Most leaves are green, because they contain chlorophyll.

Liana      : What is chlorophyll, teacher?

Mrs Astuti           : Chlorophyll (also chlorophyl) is a green pigment found in almost all plants, algae, and cyanobacteria.  Do you know what the function of the chlorophyll is?

Liana      : Sorry, we don’t know.

Mrs Astuti           : It is doing the photosynthesis, which is processing the light into energy.

Cindy     : Thank you, teacher.

Mrs Astuti           : You’re welcome.
