because an oak leaf is too thick to see the cells through a microscope. The light can not go though.

What important compound is found in the chloroplast of a elodea leaf?

Is the sweetgum leaf simple or compound?
Yes, Ginkgo's have simple leaves. It can look confusing, because the leaves are closely clustered on a short shoot.... so yes, they're simple leaves. Cycads, on the other hand have compound leaves.

When the elodea leaf is moved from salt solution n placed back in water what happens to the cells?
When you deal with problems like this, you need to consider diffusion and osmosis. In this case, you would refer to diffusion, which is the movement of water across a membrane from high concentrations to low concentrations (to try to balance the concentrations). First consider what happens to the cells when you place the elodea leaf in the salt solution; the water in the cells tries to balance the high concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the surrounding solution, so the water leaves the leaf, thus the cells shrink. Now when you put the elodea leaf into regular water again, there is a higher concentration of water in the surrounding environment compared to inside the leaf's cells, so in attempt to balance concentrations, water goes INTO the cells, thus the cells in the elodea leaf swell (expand).
