What else can I help you with?
What allows leaves to absorb carbon dioxide and take in light energy?
chlorophyll :D
How are chlorophyll and photosynthesis alike?
iN FACT THEY ARE NOT. Photosynthesis is a process by which plants get energy. therefore it is called the food making process for the plants(trees, whatever). Chlorophyll is a substance which facilitates this process, present in the leaves of the plants. This is what gives the leaves green color. To make food, plants need air (CO2), water and sunlight. Air can be absorbed by the leaves. Water can be absorbed by the leaves (vapor) as well as roots. Sunlight is trapped using the chlorophyll. This helps the trees get energy. Thus, chlorophyll is a substance present in the leaves. Photosynthesis is the process. The output of the process is Oxygen, which the tree emits after the process is completed. THEREFORE, it is an urge to protect these trees as they take in carbon dioxide and emit oxygen, during the process of photosynthesis.
What are required for the process of photosynthesis to take place?
The process of photosynthesis is used by plants and some bacteria. Plants need carbon dioxide( co2), light and water( h2o) During the day plants gather energy The chlorophyll on the plants green leaves catch the sunlight. The roots of the plant take water from the ground. The skin on the leaves breathes in the carbon dioxide.
In what parts of plants does photosynthesis take place?
In the leaves of the plant. The leaves absorb energy from the sun light to make the energy needed for the plants to produce their food. For more information you can use a botany book. Botany is the study of plants. In the leaves of the plant. The leaves absorb energy from the sun light to make the energy needed for the plants to produce their food.

What can leaves not do without chlorophyll?
Without chlorophyll, plant leaves cannot use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide to organic compounds to use as food and structure of the plant. Note that parasitic plants like broomrape or dodder lack chlorophyll. They don`t need to photosynthesize because they take their food from other plants.
In what part of the plant does photosynthesis take place?
Photosynthesis primarily takes place in the leaves of plants. Specifically, it occurs in the chloroplasts, which contain the pigment chlorophyll that captures light energy for the photosynthetic process.
Why are light and chlorophyll essential for the process of photosynthesis?
Light and chlorophyll are essential for photosynthesis because light provides the energy needed for the process to occur, and chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs light and converts it into chemical energy that plants can use to make food. Without light and chlorophyll, photosynthesis cannot take place, and plants would not be able to produce the energy they need to survive.
Why does photosynthesis not take place in the parts of leaves that are white?
The green areas of a leaf contain the type of chlorophyll that is responsible for the process of photosynthesis and which is colored green. It is absent from some areas and those leaf parts are therefore not green and photosynthesis cannot occur there.
What kind of energy is stored by plants when they take in light energy from the sun?
The light energy absorbed by plants is converted into chemical energy by chlorophyll. The energy is used to create a chemical called ATP, which stores and transports energy to cells.
Does animal cell have chlorophyll?
no. chlorophyll is in plant cells and is used for trapping heat energy from the sun, this makes plants able to support themselves without having to take in another organism for food/energy
What is the beginning step if photosynthesis?
Plants take in the sunlights energy and store it in leaves
What help plants make food?
chlorophyll help plants to make as it has the presence of sunlight that enable the chlorophyll to take place
