Why Are Plants Green? To Reduce the Noise in Photosynthesis
My understanding of the evolution of Earth flora is that prior to plants being green, the dominant plant life was red (think of red algae blooms) and that the current dominant green plant life likely evolved to use different photons along the EM spectrum where there was less competition.<p>Funny enough as I understand visible light and the EMR spectrum there is no &quot;green&quot; (color&#x2F;wave length&#x2F;energy) rather the color green is a construct originating not in the light spectrum but in the mind of the observer.
