Why tamato is red and leaves are green?
  • 1 answers

Amar Kumar 8 years, 4 months ago

Tomatoes contain two pigments for photosynthesis chlorophyll, which is green, and lycopene, which is red. When tomatoes start to grow, they contain much less lycopene than chlorophyll, which gives them their green color. But when harvest season arrives, the days shorten and temperatures drop, causing chlorophyll to dissolve and lycopene to take over the red shade of the fruit.  Leaves contain chlorophyll, the pigment in plants which gives them a green hue.
