Number of Chloroplasts in stem and leaf in eggplant?
Eggplant (Solanum melongena) typically has a higher number of chloroplasts in its leaves compared to its stem. This is because chloroplasts are primarily found in the mesophyll cells of leaves, where photosynthesis occurs. The exact number can vary depending on environmental conditions, plant health, and specific plant variety, but generally, leaves contain thousands of chloroplasts per cell, while stem cells have significantly fewer.
Why are chloroplasts found mostlly in the leaves of plants?
They are broad, and falt allowing them more exposure to the sun unlike the stem or trunk which is narrower and vertical, so it can make more chlorophyll.
Where can chlorophyll be found in a flowering plant?
It is about chloroplasts. It is happening inside the chloroplast.
Where is the chloroplasts found in plant cells?
Chloroplasts give the plant the green colour that we see, therefore all visible green portions of the plant contain chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are responsible for converting sunlight and carbon dioxide into simple sugars through the process of photosynthesis. I think they are in leaves. If you are talking about the cell. Go to http:/www.cellsalive.com/cells/cell_model.htm and click on chloroplast on the bottom hope this helped!
Do the stems of woody stem plants have chloroplasts?
No, the stems of woody plants do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are primarily found in the leaves of plants where photosynthesis occurs. Woody stems provide structural support and conduct water and nutrients throughout the plant.
Are vascular budles foound only in dicot roots?
No, these are found in dicot & monocot's root, stem and leaves.
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. For more information about chloroplasts see: http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell_chloroplast.html
Why are stem green?
Flower stems and leaves are green because they contain chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, and this is a green pigment. Chloroplasts are important because they are the site of photosynthesis - is the process by which a plant creates its own food (glucose) from solar energy, water, and carbon dioxide. Thus, the plant's synthesis of food is taking place in the stem and leaves, and these areas appear green in colour.
Do plant cells only have chloroplasts?
yes cells have chloroplast. that is what makes the stem green
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.
What makes a plant stem green?
Some plants have green stems because of the chloroplasts within each plant cell. Although we generally think about the leaves of a plant having chloroplasts and making 'food' for the plant- the cells of the main stem of the plant, or its branches may also have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts can be easily seen through a microscope and look like flat green disks inside the cell.
Why do you see chloroplasts in the Elodea cell but not the onion cell?
Because an onion develops in the ground, and chloroplasts develop in the sunlight. Therefore no chloroplasts form. Think of it this way: Tree leaves contain chloroplasts because they contain chlorophyll in order for the leaves to turn colors. But who has ever heard of an onion changing colors because it's fall?! Onions dont needchloroplasts, so they dont have them.
