Why is the leaf a site of photosynthesis?

because it has special cells allowingcertain substances in and out.


Which cells would have the most chloroplasts?

Leaf cells would have the most chloroplasts because they are the primary site for photosynthesis in plants. Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for converting light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis, and leaf cells are specialized for this function.


What cells suspends the cells organelles is the site of many biochemical reaction?

The Cytoplasm (cytosol)


Why is the mesophyll an ideal site of photosynthesis in the leaf?

The mesophyll is the ideal site for photosynthesis in the leaf because it contains a high concentration of chloroplasts, where photosynthesis takes place. It also has a large surface area for light absorption and a network of air spaces that facilitate gas exchange for photosynthesis. Additionally, the mesophyll cells are positioned close to the leaf surface, allowing for efficient light penetration for photosynthesis.


Which part of the typical plant is the site of photosynthesis?

The chloroplast, a specialized organelle found in plant cells, is the site of photosynthesis. It contains chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs light energy and converts it into chemical energy to drive the photosynthetic process.


What traps energy from sunlight in leaves site of photosynthesis?

Palisade Mesophyll and Spongy Mesophyll layers have cells that contain a lot of choloroplasts, but in these cholorplasts are thylakoids, sort of like mitochondria in animal cells, and in the thylakoid membranes you find photosystems one and two which absorb light through accessory pigments in the antenna complex which passes down to the chlorophyll A in the reaction centre of this photosystem.


What are two observations a scientist could make about the leaf cells and chloroplasts?

Leaf cells contain chloroplasts. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts as they retain energy from the sun. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which make leaves appear green.


What part of chloroplast is responsible for dar reaction?

Stroma is the site for dark reaction.It does not light.


Where would the greatest number of chloroplast be found in a leaf?

The greatest number of chloroplasts can be found in the palisade mesophyll cells, which are located in the upper layer of the leaf where they receive the most light for photosynthesis. This is the primary site for photosynthesis in most plants.


Is the major site of ATP production the same in plants cells as in animal cells?

No, the major site of ATP production is different in plant and animal cells. In plant cells, ATP is primarily produced in the mitochondria, similar to animal cells. However, plant cells can also produce ATP through photosynthesis in the chloroplasts, a process unique to plants.


What is the first site of photosynthesis in chloroplast?

First reaction is light reaction.It takes place in photosystems of thylacoid membrane.


What are the internal parts and function of a leaf?

Internal Leaf Parts & FunctionLower epidermis - outmost tissue on the lower side of the leaf; protects the leafUpper epidermis - outmost tissue on the upper side of the leaf; protects the leafPalisade layer - rows of elongated cells in the upper center of leaf; site of photosynthesisCuticle - waxy layer on the covering the epidermis; holds in moisture, prevents too much absorption of waterStoma - opening between the guard cells; allows for gas exchange and some waterGuard cells - surround the stoma; control the opening and closing of the stomaVein - supply support for the leaf; contain the xylem and the phloemSpongy layer - irregular shaped cells in lower center of leaf; absorbs gas & some waterAir space - space in the spongy layer; contain gasesXylem - found in the vein; transports minerals and water from roots to shootsPhloem - found in the vein; transports sugar & other products of photosynthesis from leaves to other parts of the plantChloroplast - cells in the leaves that contain chlorophyll; trap light energy and convert it to chemical energyMesophyll - all of the middle tissue of the leaf
