What else can I help you with?
What do you called on the process of making food of the leaves?
The process of making food from leaves is called photosynthesis, where plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. This process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, primarily in the leaves.
What does trees have to do with photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a process that occurs in plants, which provides food, energy and carbon dioxide, while it realises oxygen for us to breathe. In order for this process the plant need mainly sunlight and carbon dioxide.
Why do leaves need to carry photosynthesis?
Leaves need to carry photosynthesis in order to make food. The sun's rays give the leaves energy to make chlorophyll, which is the food they eat.
How do leaves have a wide surface area?
they have a wide surface area so they can absorb maximum light energy from the sun in order for the process photosynthesis to occur Hope this helps! :)
What is the chemical process whereby plants produce food inside their leaves?
Green leaves contain 'chlorophyll'. It is the compound that gives leaves their 'green' color and is found in the cells where leaves absorb sunlight, in order to be able to 'photosynthesize' molecules of glucose from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis is the process whereby plants use sunlight and water to convert carbon-dioxide (plus other chemicals) to energy (in the form of certain sugars etc) and oxygen. The sugars (glucose for e.g).could be referred to as 'food' as they allow the plant to produce energy! Just like we can have more energy after drinking a sugary drink, plants have more energy to grow, or produce flowers and fruit, by using sunlight and carbon-dioxide, making their own sugars through photosynthesis! see: Photosynthesis !
Why do most leaves have flat and broad surface?
Leaves are usually broad and flat to increase surface area for photosynthesis. The wider the leaf is, the more spots there are for photosynthesis to take place.
Does leaf absorb light for photosynthesis?
Yes, leaves absorb light in order to carry out the process of photosynthesis. The pigment chlorophyll in the chloroplasts of plant cells absorbs light energy, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process is essential for plant growth and survival.
Do leaves of plants carry out photosynthesis?
Carotenoids are a group of accessory pigments which occur in all photosynthetic organisms. They contain about forty carbon atoms, often without oxygen atoms and are fat soluble. They are chemically unrelated to chlorophyll and consist of rings connected by long chains of carbon atoms. They absorb light maximally at wavelengths between 460 and 550 nm and are therefore yellow, red or orange in colour as they reflect the wavelengths in this part of the spectrum. Carotenoids are found in all photosynthetic organisms.
Do plant stems transport food?
Yes, plant stems transport food in the form of sugars produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant for growth and energy. This process, known as translocation, occurs within the phloem tissue of the stem.
What part of the plant gives off oxygen?
The leaves of a plant are responsible for releasing oxygen into the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and water and, with the help of sunlight, convert these into glucose and oxygen.
What happens to the rate of photosynthesis if the openings in the leaves were closed in daylight?
The stomata must be open in order to admit carbon dioxide, which is necessary for photosynthesis. Otherwise, you will see a sharp decrease in the rate of photosynthesis.
What role do a plant's leaves play in photosynthesis?
Leaves are purposely arranged by plants, primary to take in energy from the Sun. Plants undeneath the canopy of a forest, for example, will move their leaves to catch rays of sunlight penetrating the canopy. Due to the movement of the Earth, the Sun does not stay in the same position in the sky all day so the plants move and arrange their leaves accordingly in order to take full advantage of available sunlight. Some plants also arrange their leaves to trap water or insects
