Green color of leaves is due to presence of the pigment:

- Ribosome
- Mitochondria
- Chloroplast
Correct Answer: (a) Chlorophyll
Explanation:
Chlorophyll is a green pigment present in the thylakoid membranes inside the chloroplast. Chlorophyll is an important pigment for the process of photosynthesis. It absorbs light to provide energy for photosynthesis to occur.
Chlorophyll appears green in color because it absorbs other wavelengths of light, but does not absorb the green wavelengths of white (mixed) light. This particular wavelength of light (green color) which is unabsorbed by the plant, reflected back and provides a green color appearance to the viewer.
