What does leaf cells do?

Leaf cells perform photosynthesis, converting sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. They also regulate water and gas exchange through stomata, help support the structure of the leaf, and store nutrients for the plant.


Why do leaf cells have so many chloroplasts?

The primary function of the leaf is to produce food for the plant. Plants make food through photosynthesis, a process in which chloroplasts convert sunlight into ATP which is energy for the plant. Logically, if a plant makes food for the plant it must have the tools to do so, which is why it has many chloroplasts for its food making processes.


In what type of cells do choloroplast take place?

Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells. They contain the green pigment called chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight. The chloroplasts use the sunlight energy to make food (sugar) for the plant. Chloroplasts are found mainly in the leaf cells in plants. Cells in the top half of the leaf, called palisade cells, have many chloroplasts. Cells in the bottom half of the leaf, called spongy cells, have fewer chloroplasts. Not all plant cells contain chloroplasts. For example cells inside the stem, and root cells, usually lack chloroplasts. Also the 'skin' cells (epidermis) on the leaves do not contain chloropasts.

What type of plastids are in hydrilla leaf cells?

Hydrilla leaf cells contain chloroplasts, which are a type of plastid responsible for photosynthesis. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll pigments that capture light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars, providing energy for the plant.


A typical leaf does not contain?

A typical leaf does not contain nerves or blood vessels. Instead, a leaf is composed of specialized plant cells that help in photosynthesis and gas exchange.
