Question
Why do some red-coloured leaves still perform photosynthesis?
✓

Answer

Red-colored leaves can still perform photosynthesis because:
They still contain chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis. The red pigments (anthocyanins) simply mask the green chlorophyll.Although anthocyanins primarily provide the red color, chlorophyll still captures light energy for photosynthesis. The red pigments may even help in light absorption or protect the leaf from excess light.
