So long as the plant or leaf is able to absorb sunlight through the water - yes.
Photosynthesis primarily occurs at the leaf level in the process of plant growth.
The chloroplast is the main component/organelle in the process of photosynthesis. Also this organelle is unique to plant cells.
The xylem tissue in the leaf supplies water to the cells for photosynthesis. Xylem is responsible for transporting water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant, including the leaf cells. This water is needed for photosynthesis to occur, as it is a key component in the process.
In a dark treatment, leaf disks do not float because photosynthesis cannot occur without light. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll in the leaf disks captures light energy, producing oxygen and causing the disks to become buoyant. In the absence of light, the disks do not produce oxygen, leading to them remaining submerged. Thus, leaf disks will not float in the dark treatment.
The material is Chlorophyll and it comes from a green part of a plant cell called the chloroplast.
The Leaf
leaf, I think :)
in the leaf
the leaf takes in gases through stomata (little holes). Also the leaves carry out photosynthesis and absorb sunlight, i think through chlorophyll
mesophyll cells
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.
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts within the leaf cells of a plant. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing sunlight and converting it into energy through the process of photosynthesis.
