When we look at a leaf, we see the colors of light that are reflected off its surface. How does the relatively low flow of oxygen in green light affect this?

If you're trying to say if we can see its oxygen moving we can't, and the leaf's colors are its oxygen and life, which makes it green, its also the water combine with the elements inside of the lead that make it green.

Usually, the color of leaves is green as they contain chlorophyll and it's reflecting the color of chlorophyll but when we look at a leaf, we see the colors of light that are reflected off its surface because chlorophyll in plants gives the leaf its color. The chlorophyll can't absorb oxygen, that is why it causes a reduction in the flow of oxygen and therefore the chlorophyll is green and reflects off green light. ;

Leaves appear green because chlorophyll reflects green light and absorbs blue and red light, which are more efficient for photosynthesis. This results in higher oxygen production when exposed to blue or red light rather than green light. Therefore, the flow of oxygen is relatively lower in green light due to its low absorption by chlorophyll.
