Where photosynthesis happen in plants?

Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves of plants. The leaves allow CO2 to come in through the leaves. The sunlight turns the water that comes in from the roots through the stem into the leaves to make a chemical change in the H2O and CO2 into sugar.


Why cannot animal make food from CO2 water and sunlight like plant do?

They were not designed or evolved to do so. They would need the type of cellular structure of leaves including the presence of chlorophyll to accomplish this.


Which three things are needed by the plant to produce food?

Sunlight, a photosynthetic compound such as chlorophyll, and traces of magnesium.


What are the functions of root stems and leaves of a plant?

**The purpose of a plants roots are to extract water and minerals from the ground. The leaves absorb sunlight and CO2 so that they can make their own food using photosynthesis. The stem contains and stores most of the water for when the plant needs energy and keeps the plant upright.


Where do blue bonnet flowers get there food source from?

What does plants need to make its own food?

Chloroplast in a living cell, sunlight, CO2 and Water.


What is the energy that which the green leaves trap?

photosynthesissunlight (which the leaves trap)+CO2+Water = Oxygen+Glucose


How do leaves get all the materials requires for a plant to make its own food?

The leaves have small openings to bring in CO2. They absorb sunlight and use this with the water that comes into the roots and up through the stems. The plant sugars are then transported through the sap to other parts of the plant.


Do water and minerals travel through xylem tubes from the roots to the leaves?

Yes, water and other minerals flow upwards through xylem tubes from the roots to the leaves so that the leaves can combine it with sunlight, CO2, and chlorophyll, to do photosynthesis (the process of making food for the plant.


What is chlorophyll in leaves used for?

The chlorophyll in the leaves of plants, contained within special cells called chloroplasts, are used by the plant to photosynthesize. This is the process in which plants make their own food, using the energy from the sun to convert any CO2 and water absorbed into natural sugars, which is essentially the plant's "food." Chlorophyll is also what gives the leaves of plants their green pigment.


Can leaves make food at night?

NO,as they make there food inthe morning & respire during the night . Like all living beings they also need O2 for respiration.And at night they inhale O2 an exhale Co2.
