That's where the leaf uses sunlight to convert air (CO2) and water into sugar (and O2).
Leaf cells contain chloroplasts. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts as they retain energy from the sun. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which make leaves appear green.
Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells. They contain the green pigment called chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight. The chloroplasts use the sunlight energy to make food (sugar) for the plant. Chloroplasts are found mainly in the leaf cells in plants. Cells in the top half of the leaf, called palisade cells, have many chloroplasts. Cells in the bottom half of the leaf, called spongy cells, have fewer chloroplasts. Not all plant cells contain chloroplasts. For example cells inside the stem, and root cells, usually lack chloroplasts. Also the 'skin' cells (epidermis) on the leaves do not contain chloropasts.

A Root cell doesn't have any Chloroplasts on them where as leaf cells do. Leaf cells need sunlight which is absorbed into the cells of the leaf: this job is done by the chloroplasts present in the cells, but when the roots are present under the ground, the cells do not need sunlight. hope u got Ur answer.
Chlorophyll is found in the chloroplasts of the leaf. When light, carbon dioxide, and water come together in the leaf cells, the cells undergo photosynthesis, creating glucose.
the chloroplasts aren't a part of the actual leaf. they are individual organelles found in the cytoplasm of a cell.

The chloroplasts.
it traps sunlight for photosynthesis
Yes because they are both plant cells. The Leaf Cell has larger chloroplasts.
Chloroplasts are used for photosynthesis. Thus, these cells could be involved heavily is carbon fixation (making glucose from c02 + h2o, Calvin cycle). Probably leaf cells.
