If your p-value were 0.85 and the standard error bars did not overlap for two treatments, are those two treatments significantly different from each other? Why?

No, because p-value was not significant.

What is the difference between a dark green filter and a spinach extract?

Since spinach contains pigments, if light were shone on the spinach extract, fluorescence of light at a longer wavelength could be observed.
