1.	How does red spinach plant make their food?
Answer» Chlorophyll absorbs\xa0red\xa0and blue light, “reflecting, and thus appearing, green,” Dr. Pell said. Chlorophyll uses this electromagnetic energy, along with carbon dioxide and water, to\xa0make\xa0glucose and oxygen. ... So a plant with\xa0red leaves\xa0probably has higher than usual amounts of anthocyanins.\xa0The\xa0red\xa0colour is caused by pigments called anthocyanins. ... Most\xa0plants\xa0have naturally low levels of these pigments and appear green most of the time. However, in\xa0certain\xa0situations these \'green\'\xa0plants\xa0will produce higher levels of anthocyanins leading to a change in colour in their stems and\xa0leaves.
