Maybe.

Chlorophyll is what colours leaves green, and is what is responsible for photosynthesis.

Although leaves may not appear green that may be because another agent (for example, Anthocyanin, a pigment that appears in the sugar of plants) is overpowering the colour of the chlorophyll, but it may still be present in the leaves and therefore these leaves may be undergoing photosynthesis.

What are the organs in which plants carry out photosynthesis?

Plants carry out photosynthesis primarily in their leaves. Specifically, photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts within the leaf cells. The main organs involved in photosynthesis are the leaves, but other green parts of the plant like stems and even unripe fruit can also perform photosynthesis to some extent.


Why do plant need leaves to grow?

Leaves are the main area of photosynthesis and with the sugars manufactured by this process the plant has no energy source and no building material and can not grow. Some photosynthesis takes place is the stems of some plants, but the leaves were evolved to maximize the photosynthetic process.


Why are some leaves not green in colour?

Because they don't contain chlorophyll in them.


What part of the plant where photosynthesis generally occurs?

Photosynthesis mostly occurs in the leaves cells because the sun hitsmore on the plants than any other part of the plant.
