What job of a plant can't a root do?
roots cannot photosynthesis
Where does photosynthesis in a green plant cell happen?
chloroplast
How does a volcanic eruption effect photosynthesis?
A volcanic eruption puts ash into the air, which cuts off sunlight to the plant. Light is needed for photosynthesis to happen, so photosynthesis wouldn't happen if a volcano erupted near the plant.
Where is the Cell does Photosynthesis happen?
Photosynthies happens in the leaves of the plant
Is it true photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells?
yes it can happen in any plant cell
Does photosynthesis happen in all plant cells?
No, Photosynthesis happen only in those plant cells having chloroplasts.
Where does photosynthesis happen in a plant cell?
Photosynthesis occurs within the chloroplasts in plant cells.
What organelle of a plant does photosynthesis happen?
The chloroplast.
What job of a plant can't a root do?
roots cannot photosynthesis
Can plant cells photosynthesis?
Not all types of plant cells perform photosynthesis. Most cells on the shoot of the plant (depending on the plant) are capable of photosynthesis. However, most root cells are white because they lack pigments and, therefore, are incapable of photosynthesis.
Where n a plant does photosynthesis happen?
In te leaves
In which part of the plant cell does photosynthesis happen?
The chloroplast.
Why is there a chloroplast in a plant cell?
To enable photosynthesis to happen.
Where does photosynthesis in a green plant cell happen?
