Do all the cells of plants contain chlorophyll?
Most, but not all plant cells contain chlorophyll. Chlorophyll requires light in order for photosynthesis to occur, it make no sense then that plants produce chlorophyll in cells where no sunlight can reach; for this reason root cells and tissues do not contain chlorophyll
What is photosynthesis in what major organelle does it occur in?
Photosynthesis is the process of making food in the presence of sunlight. It occur in chlorophyll.
What is the material in the leaf that must be present for photosynthesis to occur?
The material is Chlorophyll and it comes from a green part of a plant cell called the chloroplast.
What does choroplast mean?
Chloroplasts are cells mainly in leaves of plants which contain a substance called chlorophyll which traps heat and light energy from the sun which is essential for photosynthesis to occur in plants.
What is necessary for photosythesis to occur?
Water, sunlight, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll are necessary for photosynthesis to occur.

What pigment is needed to carry out the chemical reactions of photosynthesis?
chlorophyl and also carotenoids, xanthophyls..
In what part of a plant cell does photosynthesis occur?
in which part of a plant cell does photosynthesis occur

The material is Chlorophyll and it comes from a green part of a plant cell called the chloroplast.
Can photosynthesis occur in the non-green parts of variegated leaves?
No, photosynthesis cannot occur in the non-green parts of variegated leaves because photosynthesis needs chlorophyll to occur, and the non-green parts of the plants lack chlorophyll.
Where in a cell does photosynthesis occur?
Photosynthesis occurs only in plant cells. This is because only plant cells (unlike animal cells) contain chloroplasts. These chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis in the plant cell, and contain the necessary pigment of chlorophyll which is required for photosynthesis to take place. The photosynthesis equation is as follows: CO2 + H2O (in the presence of light and Chlorophyll) = energy + O2
What does choroplast mean?
Chloroplasts are cells mainly in leaves of plants which contain a substance called chlorophyll which traps heat and light energy from the sun which is essential for photosynthesis to occur in plants.
Where does the reactions of photosynthesis occur in the of plant cells?
Leaves {OW}
What pigment does a green leaf contain?
chlorophyll is the green pigment which is necessary for photosynthesis to occur Chlorophyll
Is chlorophyll one of the ingredients needed for photosynthesis to occur?
Yes it is.
Where does The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the of plant cells.?
The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the chloroplast in the cells in plants.
