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

Where in a leaf does photosynthesis take place?

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of a leaf, specifically in the cells of the mesophyll layer.


What is the role of the air spaces in the mesophyll layer of a leaf in facilitating photosynthesis?

The air spaces in the mesophyll layer of a leaf help facilitate photosynthesis by allowing for the exchange of gases, such as carbon dioxide and oxygen. This enables the leaf to take in carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct. The air spaces also help regulate the movement of water vapor, maintaining the proper balance of gases within the leaf for efficient photosynthesis to occur.


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.


How does the leaf gaseous exchange take place?

Leaf gaseous exchange occurs through tiny pores called stomata on the surface of leaves. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide enters the leaf through the stomata, while oxygen and water vapor exit the leaf through the same pores. This exchange of gases is crucial for the process of photosynthesis and respiration in plants.

What are the four things a leaf needs for photosynthesis to take place?

Sunlight,water,carbon dioxide,and chlorophyll


Why does a leaf remove oxygen when submerged in water?

I think you have misunderstood something. If a leaf is under water, it will still photosynthesise and produce oxygen as long as there is sufficient light. If there is no light it will just respire, consuming oxygen, whether or not it is in water.

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.


Can photosynthesis take place in spirogyra?

Yes, photosynthesis can take place in Spirogyra. Spirogyra is a filamentous green algae with chloroplasts that enable it to perform photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy for growth and survival.
