What type of cells carry out photosynthesis?

Answer 1

In a leaf photosynthesis takes place in the mesophyll (middle leaf), mostly in the upper layer of palisade cells but also in the spongy layer.

The plant cells don't actually carry out photosynthesis - it takes place in the Chloroplasts.

Extra Credit

Chloroplasts maintain a lot of similarities with photosynthetic bacteria, including a circular chromosome and prokaryotic ribosomes. This has lead to the endosymbiotic theory that suggests that photosynthetic bacteria were acquired by primeval eukaryotic cells which went on to become plant cells.

When a plant cell divides, it's Chloroplasts divide taking their unique DNA along with them, Mitochondria behave in a similar fashion.

Answer 2

Chloroplasts

^^

That is not even what the person was asking. Chloroplasts are located in cells and called an organelle.

Autotrophs use photosynthesis to create glucose. So plants are a type of cell that use photosynthesis because they are in fact autotrophs.

Answer 3

Photosynthesis is a process used by autotrophes, or more specifically, by photoautotrophes such as most land plants, algae, and certain types of bacteria, ex: cyanobacteria. It can thus occur in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.

Answer 4

Only Eukaryote Cells-plants- use photosynthesis. Algae as well makes photosynthesis.

Sorry, photosynthesis predates nucleated (eukaryotic) cells. All you need is chloroplasts in the cell.

Answer 5

Chloroplasts, found in plant cells, are the organelles responsible for carrying out photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll, the pigment that absorbs light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen.

Answer 6

The kind of cell that undergoes photosynthesis is the plant cell.

Answer 7

plant cells stupid!
