Plant roots absorb water, and water is one of the three ingredients which plants need in order to carry out photosynthesis, the others being carbon dioxide, which they get from the air, and sunlight.

Do roots photosynthesize?
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.
How do plants obtain the water they need for photosynthesis?
Plants get the water they require for photosynthesis by absorbing from the soil through their root systems. It is then transported up the stem and to the leaves where is is used to synthesise sugars through photosynthesis.
Why is the phloem in a leaf important to the roots of a plant?
It provides the roots with carbohydrates. (APEX)
Does photosynthesis take place in the leaves?
Photosynthesis only occurs in chlorophyll, which is what gives leaves their green color. Since chlorophyll only exists o in leaves, the roots can not perform photosynthesis. As well, photosynthesis obviously requires sunlight, which roots are not normally exposed to.
When fungi live on the roots of plants how are they obtaining nutrients?
Photosynthesis
Why are leaves more well adapted for photosynthesis than stems or roots?
because they are filled with glucose
Why does photosynthesis not happen in the root of a plant?
Roots are underground so they don't get any energy from sunlight they need for photosynthesis.
What are adapted for photosynthesis?
Leaves of plants.
Do roots photosynthesize?
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.
Why are The roots of plants are important to photosynthesis?
Water used in photosynthesis by plants is made available by roots. That is why roots of plants are important to photosynthesis in terrestrial plants. Aqatic plants absorb water from their free surface, hence role of roots in these plants is limited.
How are leaves dapted to achieve photosynthesis?
*Adapted*
What part of the plant absorb water for photosynthesis?
The roots of a plant.
How does grass roots grow?
photosynthesis
How does the potato get from photosynthesis to your product?
Potatoes are roots, they don't use photosynthesis. Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves of plants to make 'food' for the plant. Roots take up nutrients from soil.
What plants have adapted?
All plants are adapted to photosynthesise also they rare adapted to store water in it's roots
Where does photosynthesis take placein the leaves or roots?
Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves.
How have plants adapted for photosynthesis?
because of the new jesus :)
