That's where the leaf uses sunlight to convert air (CO2) and water into sugar (and O2).

In what type of cells do choloroplast take place?

Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells. They contain the green pigment called chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight. The chloroplasts use the sunlight energy to make food (sugar) for the plant. Chloroplasts are found mainly in the leaf cells in plants. Cells in the top half of the leaf, called palisade cells, have many chloroplasts. Cells in the bottom half of the leaf, called spongy cells, have fewer chloroplasts. Not all plant cells contain chloroplasts. For example cells inside the stem, and root cells, usually lack chloroplasts. Also the 'skin' cells (epidermis) on the leaves do not contain chloropasts. For more information about chloroplasts see: http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell_chloroplast.html


What leaf part has many chloroplasts?

the chloroplasts aren't a part of the actual leaf. they are individual organelles found in the cytoplasm of a cell.


What are the advantages of having no chloroplast in the spongy mesophyll cells?

What would be the advantages to having no chloroplasts in the cells of the spongy mesophyll? Fewer chloroplasts in the spongy mesophyll because most of the light energy is absorbed by the chloroplasts of the palisade mesophyll. ... They waxy cuticle keeps water inside the leaf cells.


Do phloem cells contain chloroplasts?

No, phloem cells do not contain chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are typically found in plant cells that are involved in photosynthesis, such as leaf cells, while phloem cells are specialized for transporting nutrients, such as sugars, throughout the plant.


Where in a leaf is cholrophyll located?

Chlorophyll molecules are specifically arranged in and around pigment protein complexes called photosystems which are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. The chloroplasts are found in the leaf cells.

Are there cells in a leaf without chloroplasts?

no


Are there chloroplasts in a banana cell?

No, bananas do not have chloroplasts in their cells. Chloroplasts are primarily found in plant cells that undergo photosynthesis, such as leaf cells, where they help in converting sunlight into energy for the plant. Bananas do not have an active photosynthetic function as they primarily receive nutrients from the parent plant during development.


Why does a leaf cell have a chloroplast and the root cell doesn't?

Chloroplasts in leaves use sunlight for photosynthesis, producing carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water. Chloroplasts aren't found in roots that are primarily underground and don't receive sunlight.

What do you call cells in a leaf that contains chlorophyll?

The chloroplasts.


How are leaf cells and bulb cells different?

Yes because they are both plant cells. The Leaf Cell has larger chloroplasts.


Which types of cell in a leaf contain chloroplasts?

Chloroplasts are found in plants and are contained in all cells of the plant. They are responsible for photosynthesis.


Which cells would have the most chloroplasts?

Leaf cells would have the most chloroplasts because they are the primary site for photosynthesis in plants. Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for converting light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis, and leaf cells are specialized for this function.


What could be a possible function of a plant cell that has a lot of chloroplasts?

Chloroplasts are used for photosynthesis. Thus, these cells could be involved heavily is carbon fixation (making glucose from c02 + h2o, Calvin cycle). Probably leaf cells.


Where in the plant are cells with many chloroplasts?

a leaf palisade cell


What are cells with many chloroplasts for photosynthesis?

A leaf palisade cell.
