What are the parts of a leave involved in photosynthesis?

The main parts of a leaf involved in photosynthesis are the chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs, and the stomata, which regulate gas exchange for photosynthesis. The mesophyll cells contain the majority of the chloroplasts where photosynthesis takes place, while the veins in the leaf provide the transport system for water and nutrients needed for photosynthesis.


One of the two parts of photosynthesis?

One of the two parts of photosynthesis is the light-dependent reactions, which occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. These reactions use light energy to split water molecules and produce ATP and NADPH.


What are the parts of photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis consists of two main parts: the light-dependent reactions, which occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and require sunlight to produce ATP and NADPH, and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle), which take place in the stroma of chloroplasts and use ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.


Can photosynthesis occur in the non-green parts of variegated leaves?

Yes, photosynthesis can occur in the non-green parts of variegated leaves, but at a lower rate compared to the green parts because the green chlorophyll is the main pigment responsible for capturing light energy. The non-green parts may contain chloroplasts with reduced chlorophyll levels, limiting their photosynthetic efficiency.


What are the three parts of photosynthesis?

The three main parts of photosynthesis are light-dependent reactions, Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions), and electron transport chain. In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. The Calvin cycle then uses ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 into glucose, while the electron transport chain helps in the production of ATP.
