chlorophyll

Help??!  My biology class has a question; why does a lot of chlorophyll
in a container look red?  The chlorophyll should look green, but our
teacher put a lot of chlorophyll into a container and asked, why is it
red?  To add to the confusion, when our teacher used a tissue to absorb
the chlorophyll, the chlorophyll looked green on the tissue.  So we are
asking, why is it red?

Any help would be appreceated,
Thanks.                         please respond to bluej at juno.com
