Water is absorbed by the roots of a plant, and is transported to leaves by means of fibrous or vascular tissues in the plant.

Somata are part of which type of plant structure?

The somata are mouthlike structures on a leaf normally found on the underside that release oxygen and water and take in carbon dioxide which is used for photosynthesis. Somata are part of the leaf.


Is one what does not directly enables photosynthesis to take place in a leaf?

Photosynthesis is the making of a simple sugar that is food for a plant. A plant needs water, nutrients, sunlight, and and the Carbon Dioxide in air. If there isn't one of these things, a plant will not survive long.


What is the process known as when carbon dioxide enters leaves?

Photosynthesis. The reaction where CO2 enters the leaves through diffusion and is released as O2. Diffusion - The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration - From the air (area of high concentration) to inside the leaf (area of low concentration). In photosynthesis, the chlorophyll (green substances inside the leaf cells) convert the CO2 along with water taken up the roots to create oxygen and glucose. The glucose is used by the plant to produce fruits and to take up water by the roots. The oxygen diffuses out of the leaves as there is a higher concentration of oxygen inside leaf then there is outside the leaf. The word equation for photosynthesis is: Carbon Dioxide + Water --> Oxygen + Glucose The symbol equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O --> 6O2 + C6H12O6


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.


What enters through stomata in photosynthesis?

The raw materials of photosynthesis that enters the leaf through the stomates or stomata is H2O or water

Where does photosynthesis happen in a cell?

Photosynthesis takes place in a chloroplast of a leaf cell. They take in sunlight for use in conjunction with water and CO2 to make glucose.


Does photosynthesis take place in the leave or in the roots?

Which cells in a leaf can photosynthesise?

Any cell that contains chloroplast can do photosynthesis. That's why stem of Cucurbita maxima, Basella rubra etc. and root of Trapa bispinosa,Tinospora cordifolia etc. take part in photosynthesis.


What part of the leaf does photosynthesis take place?

Mesophyll cells...


Where does photosynthesis take place in the middle of a leaf?

It is in a organelle. It is the chloroplast.


Do chloroplasts perform photosynthesis?

Yes. They take the sunlight's energy and use it to turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar.


What does a leaf cell do?

The palisade leaf cell provides chlorophlly to the leaf as a result photosynthesis will take place in the palisade cell.


What part of a plant's leaf cells does photosynthesis take place?

Photosynthesis takes place in the plant's chloroplasts!


What does palisade leaf cell do?

The palisade leaf cell provides chlorophlly to the leaf as a result photosynthesis will take place in the palisade cell.
