What part of a plant has more chloroplasts?
Parts which get more light.Examples like leaf can be taken.
What parts of a plant have cells with chloroplasts in them?
The leaves are the only cells which contain chloroplasts, as an objective of the leaf is to absorb sunlight, which is exactly what the chloroplasts, or more specifically the chlorophyll in the chloroplasts do. The chloroplasts themselves are the organelles in which photosynthesis takes place.
Why do leaves contain more chloroplasts than roots?
Plant leaves contain more chloroplasts than plant roots because photosynthesis occurs in the leaves. In order to carry out the various functions of photosynthesis, a large number of chloroplasts is required.
What happens if chloroplasts are absent in a plant cell?
Chloroplasts= Photosynthesis=Sugar No chloroplasts means no more photosynthesis to produce compounds like glucose that the plant uses for energy. We eat our food and then digest it to get high energy compounds like glucose. Plants use chloroplasts to make food, then they digest it. No chloroplast, no plant.
Would you expect a plant's roots or leaves to have more chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts need sunlight for its function. So leaves have more chloroplasts

What leaf part has many chloroplasts?
the chloroplasts aren't a part of the actual leaf. they are individual organelles found in the cytoplasm of a cell.

Why do leaf cells have so many chloroplasts?
The primary function of the leaf is to produce food for the plant. Plants make food through photosynthesis, a process in which chloroplasts convert sunlight into ATP which is energy for the plant. Logically, if a plant makes food for the plant it must have the tools to do so, which is why it has many chloroplasts for its food making processes.
In what type of cells do choloroplast take place?
Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells. They contain the green pigment called chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight. The chloroplasts use the sunlight energy to make food (sugar) for the plant. Chloroplasts are found mainly in the leaf cells in plants. Cells in the top half of the leaf, called palisade cells, have many chloroplasts. Cells in the bottom half of the leaf, called spongy cells, have fewer chloroplasts. Not all plant cells contain chloroplasts. For example cells inside the stem, and root cells, usually lack chloroplasts. Also the 'skin' cells (epidermis) on the leaves do not contain chloropasts.

What vegetables do not contain chloroplasts?
Vegetables do not exist. Every edible plant is either the fruit of the plant, (i.e. apples, peanuts, tomatoes), the stem, the leaf, or the root (i.e. carrots). But the only parts of a plant that contain chloroplasts are leaves and stems. So think of any vegetable you know not to be a leaf or a stem.
Would you expect a plant's roots or leaves to have more chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts need sunlight for its function. So leaves have more chloroplasts
Where in the plant cell does photosynthesis occur?
Within Chloroplasts.
What are the advantages of having more chloroplast?
I hope you are talking about a plant, because only they have chloroplasts... Having more chloroplasts means that a plant can convert more sunlight into glucose faster.
What is the advantage of having cells with many chloroplasts near the upper surface of the leaf?
Because more light energy will be able to reach the chloroplasts and chlorophyll can then trap the light energy. hence, more chloroplasts appear on the top half of the leaf to absorb more light, mainly for the use of photosynthesis.
