Only the green parts of a plant photosynthesize. In fall and winter, there is much less area that photosynthesizes in trees with leaves... the green stems and branches do photosynthesize a slight amount. Evergreen trees, like pines and spruce, do not lose their leaves called needles but when the cold weather comes all biological processes slow down and so does the amount of photosynthesis.
What else can I help you with?
Can photosynthesis occur in the winter?
Yes, photosynthesis can still occur in the winter, but at a slower rate due to the reduced sunlight and colder temperatures. Evergreen plants and some cold-tolerant plants can continue photosynthesizing during the winter months, albeit at a reduced level compared to during the growing season.
What is photosynthesizing organisms?
A photosynthesizing organism is one that uses the energy of the sun to produce carbon-based materials from carbon dioxide & water; oxygen is produced as a by-product All green plants are photosynthesizing organisms; so are some algae
Do plants REALLY do all the photosynthesizing?
All green plants are capable of photosynthesis. Some plants, like those living in deep-sea vents, use inorganic chemicals to manufacture their food.
Why dont plants grow in the winter?
Some plants grow in winter. But most plants adaptations are to live in warm weather. Why? That's just so.
Do moss get there energy from the sun?
Yes, mosses are photosynthesizing plants. They need damp, so are often found in the shade. Some however just cling to the trunks of trees - particularly in rainforest.
What happens to plants during the winter?
some die and some dont it depends
Can you grow any plants in the winter?
i've had some luck keeping kale growing all winter.
Is photosynthesis a noun or a verb?
Photosynthesis is a noun. It refers to the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water.
What plants or herbs are in season in winter?
In winter, some plants and herbs that are in season include kale, collard greens, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, rosemary, thyme, and sage. These plants thrive in colder temperatures and are readily available during the winter months.
What is called an organism that requires the consumption of other organisms for survival?
A heterotroph ('eating others'). This can mean the consumption of animals or plants (as both are organisms), and makes all animals, some plants (carnivorous or parasitic) and all fungi heterotrophs. 'Regular' photosynthesizing plants 'feed' off sunlight, making them autotrophs ('eating independently').
Can mint plants survive winter?
Yes, mint plants can survive winter if they are properly cared for. They are hardy perennials that can withstand cold temperatures, but may need some protection in extremely harsh conditions.
Where is winter garden?
You grow a winter garden, or plants suited to cold weather, in the same garden where you grow plants during the rest of the year. The difference is in the plant varieties you choose. Beets, broccoli, carrots, kale, peas, lettuce and spinach are some of the best for fall and winter growing.
