1 leaves have larger surface area so they can absorb light from sun

2 they are thin so light can pass into them easily

3 the cells of leaves have chloroplast which absorb light energy

Which of the following scientists would more likely be concerned with the rate of photosynthesis in leaves?

what type of scientists is interested in the rate of photosynthesis in leaves


Does photosynthesis take place in the leaves?

Yes, photosynthesis primarily takes place in the chloroplasts of plant leaves. The process uses sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and glucose, which is used as energy by the plant. Leaves have a large surface area and contain specialized cells called mesophyll cells that are optimized for photosynthesis.


How desert plants carry out photosynthesis?

Desert plants have adaptations to reduce water loss during photosynthesis. They typically have small leaves or spines to minimize surface area, and some use a specialized form of photosynthesis called CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) which allows them to open their stomata at night to minimize water loss. These adaptations help desert plants survive in arid conditions while still carrying out photosynthesis for energy production.


Which part of a flowering plant captures the most sunlight for photosynthesis?

The leaves of a flowering plant capture the most sunlight for photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll, the pigment that absorbs sunlight and converts it into energy through photosynthesis. Leaves are specifically adapted to maximize their surface area for efficient light capture.


Do yellow leaves photosynthesis?

"So, plants with leaf color other than green perform photosynthesis just like green-leafed plants (if they did not, they would not live). The chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis is masked among the colorful pigmentation."

How are producers structurally adapted for photosynthesis?

Plants are the main producers and have numerous structural and behavioral adaptations to aid photosynthesis. One of the structural adaptations is that they have a large surface area to absorb sunlight required for photosynthesis.


Where in leaves does photosynthesis occur?

In leaves, photosynthesis occurs usually in chloroplasts of mesophyll cells.


What are some adaptations of seaweed?

seaweed isn't actually a plant but a protist. It's adaptations include a waxy outer cuticle that protects it from small creatures and helps it keep the water concentration in its body stable, Small pouches filled with air to keep its "leaves" upright in the current to maximise photosynthesis. Chlorophyll in its "leaves" to enable photosynthesis, root like anchors at its base to anchor it to the rocks to stop it being moved by the current.


what are the two main functions of a leaf?

(1) The leaves make food for the plant by photosynthesis. (2) The leaves get rid of excess water from the plant through transpiration. (3) The leaves carry out the process of respiration in plants. The leaves make food for the plant by the process of photosynthesis.
