Photosynthesis requires light and carbon dioxide (CO2). Furthermore, the plant requires water and nutrients for other growth and other biochemical pathways. Water can be absorbed from the soil. Light and CO2 can be absorbed through the plants leaves.

What part in the organelle of a plant's cell does photosynthesis take place?

This question needs to be more defined. Plants have many organelles. The organelle in which photosynthesis occurs is called a chloroplast.


What are the starting substances in photosynthesis?

The starting substances in photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water. Through the process of photosynthesis, these substances are converted into glucose and oxygen with the help of sunlight and chlorophyll.


What would happen to a plant if water were no longer available for photosynthesis?

If water were no longer available for photosynthesis, the plant would not be able to produce glucose, which is essential for its growth and survival. This would lead to wilting, reduced turgor pressure, and ultimately, the death of the plant due to lack of energy and nutrients.


What does a leaf need to make food for the plant?

A leaf needs sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food for the plant through the process of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll in the leaf captures the sunlight energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process provides energy for the plant to grow and thrive.


How do substances for photosynthesis enter and leave the plant?

The gas for photosynthesis...carbon dioxide diffuses into the plant through its stomata ('holes' in the leaf's underside). Water is transported through the plant in the xylem tube (waterproof tube that makes up part of the plants veins and covers the whole plants structure) as it is drawn up from the roots where it is absorbed. It is drawn up by the water evaporationg through the stomata. The light obviously enters the leaf and enters the chloroplasts where it combines with the chlorophyll to provide the energy for the photosynthesis reaction. The products from photosynthesis...glucose and oxygen are removed from the plant leaves. Glucose through the phloem tube (another of the veins) and oxygen through diffusion through the stomata or it is used up in respiration.
