No they could not. The cells within the plant roots haven't been exposed to sunlight, so they have adapted by losing their chloroplast, the organelles needed for photosynthesis.

Every plant can photosynthesize This is a tree Therefore it must photosynthesize is ethos pathos or logos?
Deductive reasoning
Which kingdom contains organisms that have cell walls of chitin and cannot photosynthesize?
Fungi has a cell wall of chitin and cannot photosynthesize
How do the flowes leaves and stems help plants meet their basic needs?
The flowers are the sexual organs. A basic need is to reproduce. The leaves make the food. The stems carry the food and water to every part of the plant that needs it much like our veins and arteries.
What do plant need to photosynthesize?
Plants need light to photosynthesize. Photo-Light They use the light for their only energy source. The exceptions being carnivorous plants such as Bladderworts and the always-known Venus Fly Traps.
Can roots absorb oxygen from water?
Since roots are embedded in the soil, they cannot photosynthesize. But the roots are actively growing and using energy. The best way to get the energy is to use the sugars being produced in the leaves in cellular respiration which requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
Why do plant like protists not have leaves roots stems?
Plantlike protists can move around and still photosynthesize.
How do the parts of the plant help it make food?
the roots suck up nutrients the leaves contain chloroplasts which makes the plant photosynthesize (take energy from light and turn it into food).
Can a protozoan photosynthesize. name one protozoan that can photosynthesize?
yes euglena
Is mushrooms able to photosynthesize?
No, mushrooms are fungi and so cannot photosynthesize.
Can plants respire and photosynthesize at the same time?
Yes, the can photosynthesize and respire at the same time.
Do leaves photosynthesize?
Leave per se do not photosynthesize but the organelles within the cells of the leaves (the chloroplasts) do.
Can a cabbage leaf photosynthesize?
Cabbage leaf can photosynthesize because it has chlorophyll. Also red cabbage can photosynthesize too. Absolutely, red cabbages have chlorophyll, but it masked by other pigments. (anthocyanins)

Is fugus a plant?
No, fungus is not a plant. Fungi do not contain stems, leaves, or roots, and do not photosynthesize. Fungi are their own kingdom and feed off of decaying material or are parasitic. They are also completely made out of a material called hyphae.
Do plants photosynthesize?
YES!!!!
Which protozoa can photosynthesize?
That is the euglena.
Can phytoplankton photosynthesize?
nope!
