Best Answer

The chloroplasts in the leaves absorb the light directly from the sun. The carbon dioxide goes into the leaves through the stomata (tiny holes on the bottom of a leaf) and is diffused through the rest of the cells. The water is absorbed by the roots then carried by the xylem up to the leaf and the cells in the leaf.

CO2 enters leaves via stomata, and water enters via roots and is carried to leaves through veins!

Chloroplasts are directly under the cuticle of the leaf. The sunlight permeates the cuticle.

Carbon dioxide reaches through stomata. Water is absorbed from the soil.

Do young tree take up more carbon dioxide than old trees?

Young trees grow quicker than mature trees (mature trees reach their maximum size then stop growing taller) as a consequence the young trees are taking in carbon dioxide to make both wood and leaves, mature trees nly require the carbon dioxide for leaves. There is some change in the soil content of carbon sequestered in the soil at the base of the trees as well,

Short note on heart?

the heart is a muscular organ which is as big as our fist. because both oxygen and carbon dioxide have to be transported by blood, the hear has different chambers to prevent the oxygen-rich blood from mixing with the blood containing carbon dioxide. the carbon dioxide rich blood has to reach the lungs for the carbon dioxide to be removed, and the oxygenated bolld from the lungs has to be brought back to the heart. this oxygen rich blood is then pumped to the rest of the body.


What is ocean turnover?

Ocean turnover is the process by which the ocean takes in carbon dioxide in order to reach equilibrium by a direct exchange with the air.


Why is it important for blood to reach all parts of the body?

Because all cells in the body need to receive oxygen and expell carbon dioxide.


Do animals inhale carbon dioxide or oxygen?

Nope -- they do just exactly the opposite: inhale and use oxygen, and exhale more carbon dioxide, just as all mammals do. This was an old wive's tale that's been around for years, that goes on to say cats can suck away a baby's breath -- which has no basis in fact whatsoever.


How do the reactants of photosynthesis reach the chloroplasts in the leave?

The carbon dioxide goes into the stoma which is located at the bottom of the leaf and water comes from the soil which is captured by the root hair cells, travels up the xylem and into the palisade layer where itmeets the carbon dioxide and then photosynthesis takes place.


Where do the human lungs get the carbon dioxide to replace oxygen?

Taking in oxygen and giving out carbon dioxide is called breathing. Breathing is only a part of the process Respiration. In respiration, th lungs take in oxygen, which mixes with blood and is then circulated to each and every cell of the body. After this, in a cell, the oxygen is utilised for oxidation of food materials to generate energy for various metabolic processes. This process liberates carbon dioxide since it is a chemical reaction involving many steps. This carbon dioxide is then carried from each cell by the blood to reach the lungs where it is expelled out.
