What else can I help you with?
What kind of cells in the leaf carry out photosynthesis activity?
Chloroplast
Name the leaf cell that carry out photosynthesis?
Chloroplasts are the leaf cells that carry out photosynthesis. These organelles contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
What is the purpose of a vein on a leaf?
The purpose of the veins of a leaf is to hold nutrient and carry out the role of 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.
What is the photosynthesis cell called?
the main photosynthetic cells in a leaf are the palisade cells, they contain many chloroplasts which actually carry out photosynthesis.
What pigment is present in certain leaf tissues that allows a leaf to carry on its major function?
The pigment present in certain leaf tissues that allows a leaf to carry on its major function of photosynthesis is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs light energy from the sun and helps convert it into chemical energy during photosynthesis.
How is the sugar produced by photosynthesis transported from the leaf?
The sugar produced by photosynthesis in the leaf is transported through a network of tubes called phloem. These tubes carry the sugar to other parts of the plant where it is needed for energy or storage.
Why is the upper surface of a leaf transparent?
The upper surface of a leaf is transparent because it lacks chloroplasts which carry out photosynthesis. This allows light to pass through the upper surface and reach the chloroplast-rich cells in the lower side of the leaf where photosynthesis occurs.
What does transpiration do?
Transpiration is the process where plants carry water from the roots to the rest of the plant,including the leaf, to be used in photosynthesis.
Can guard cells carry out photosynthesis?
No Guard cells are cells that close when there is dry weather, preventing the leaf from becoming dehydrated
What is the outer layer of its leaf called and what is its function?
The outer layer of a leaf is called the epidermis (from a Greek word meaning "over-skin"). Its function is to protect the insides of the leaf, which carry out the chemical reaction known as photosynthesis.
What is the job of the mesophyll of the leaf?
To carry out photosynthesis as the cells contain chloroplasts and the organelles perform photosynthesis. It has a waxy cuticle which is impermeable to water, so the water passes out of the leaves as water vapour.
