Plants without leaves, such as succulents, rely on other structures to perform photosynthesis. These plants often have modified stems or even their outer layer of cells that can carry out photosynthesis. In succulents, the fleshy stems or thickened stems store water and also have chlorophyll-containing cells that can capture sunlight and convert it into energy through photosynthesis. This adaptation allows these plants to thrive in arid environments where leaves would lose too much water through transpiration.

What is the function the leaf?

Leaves enable photosynthesis to occur. Photosynthesis is the process by which leaves absorb light and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrate for plants to grow.


Do photosynthesis occur in plants and animals?

Photosynthesis only occurs in plants, on the leaves, to produce nutrients for it. Animals all respire, which is effectively the opposite of respiration.


What captures solar energy and uses photosynthesis to produce sugars?

Plants do this in the chloroplasts in their green leaves.

What produce oxygen?

Plants, particularly through the process of photosynthesis, produce oxygen as a byproduct. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and release oxygen into the atmosphere.


What do plants produce in photosynthesis?

Plants produce glucose and oxygen in photosynthesis.


Where do the plants produce food?

Plants produce food on leaves as chlorophyll is present there which traps sunlight.The stomata present on the leaves absorb carbon dioxide.The process photosynthesis takes place when all these elements are combined.

Why doesn't the mushroom have any leaves?

Plants produce leaves, and a mushroom is not a plant. Leaves help plants with photosynthesis- the plant's way of making food. Fungi- the group of organisms the mushroom is in- feed off of dead organisms. They have no use for photosynthesis, thus, no use for leaves.
