Why might there be few fewer chloroplasts in the root of a plant than in a stem or a leaf?

chloroplasts make chloraphyll, which helps plants make sugar in what is called photosynthesis. less sunlight reaches those parts and there is no need for chloroplasts there.
leaves are called the food factory of the cell,the main function of the chloroplast is photosynthesis by which it makes food for the plant.The roots and stem do not have this function of making food thus the chloroplasts are less common in these parts of the plant. by harjaap singhWiki User

∙ 7y agoBecause chloroplasts trap light for the plant and underground where the roots are there is no light and therefore no need for chloroplasts.

What plant structure would have the most chloroplasts?
The leaf would have the most chloroplasts because it is the major structure for photosynthesis in a plant.
Where in the plant are cells with many chloroplasts?
a leaf palisade cell
The plant organ that holds most of a plant's chloroplasts in position to receive sunlight is the?
leaf.
Why is the leaf cell important?
Leaf cells have the most chloroplasts out of any other cells in a plant, and is the largest contributer of photosynthesis in the plant.
How do plants captured the sunlight?
with chlorophyll in chloroplasts in plant cells in a leaf
What plant structure would have the most chloroplasts?
The leaf would have the most chloroplasts because it is the major structure for photosynthesis in a plant.
What organ of a plant has a stomata and chloroplasts?
the leaf :)
In general what plant structure would have the chloroplasts?
The leaf would have the most chloroplasts because it is the major structure for photosynthesis in a plant.
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 plant structure would have the most chloroplasts in general?
The leaf would have the most chloroplasts because it is the major structure for photosynthesis in a plant.
What is the function of the leaf in plant?
The function of a plant leaf is to provide a structure in which chloroplasts can be exposed to sunlight so that they can perform photosynthesis.
The plant organ that holds most of a plant's chloroplasts in position to receive sunlight is the?
leaf.
Why is the leaf cell important?
Leaf cells have the most chloroplasts out of any other cells in a plant, and is the largest contributer of photosynthesis in the plant.
What part of the plant is responsible for photosynthesis?
The chloroplasts inside the leaf cells
How do plants captured the sunlight?
with chlorophyll in chloroplasts in plant cells in a leaf
Which part of a green plant shows the greatest decrease in chloroplasts in the fall of the year?
The Leaf
