The chloroplast is the organelle where photosynthesis occurs, though it is not found in all plant cells (only those on the surface). For example, tubas (e.g. potatoes) and roots do not contain chloroplasts as they have no exposure to sunlight.

Is a chloroplast located in a plant or animal cell?

Photosynthesis takes place in plant cells only. Not every plant cell though. Only green parts of the plant like leaves that are above groung and can soak up sunlight and mix it with other ingredients to make sugar that is the plant's food.


What chemical that aids in photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll is the primary chemical that aids in photosynthesis by capturing light energy from the sun. It is present in the chloroplasts of plant cells and plays a crucial role in converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.


What does the ground tissue do in a plant?

Ground tissue in plants provides support, storage, and photosynthesis. It consists of parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells that help in photosynthesis, storage of nutrients, and structural support for the plant. Ground tissue also aids in the transportation of water and nutrients throughout the plant.


What is dieters fiber?

Dietary fibre is also known as cellulose and is found in plant cells. It is a complex carbohydrate that is not digestible, but it aids with digestion.


Closely packed layer of tall cells containing many chloroplasts?

This description most likely refers to the palisade mesophyll layer found in plant leaves. These tall cells are arranged closely together to maximize light absorption for photosynthesis. The abundance of chloroplasts in these cells aids in capturing sunlight to convert into energy.


A large vesicle that aids in digestion within plant cells is called?

A large vesicle that aids in digestion within plant cells is called a vacuole. This in additional function in eukaryotic organisms called protists.


What is the large vesicle that aids in digestion within plant cells?

The large vesicle that aids in digestion within plant cells is called a vacuole. Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that store water, nutrients, and waste products, and also play a role in maintaining turgor pressure and supporting the structure of the cell.


What plant structure aids photosynthesis?

mostly leaves but sometimes also in stems in some plants due to special adaptations


A large vesicles that aids in Digestion within plant cells the way lysosomes do is called?

A Vacuole!


What is an organelle found in animal cells that aids in spindle formation?

ribosomes and plants


What creates cells and aids in plant growth?

Plant cells are produced through a process called cell division (mitosis), where existing cells divide to form new cells. An important factor that aids in plant growth is a group of hormones called cytokinins, which promote cell division and regulate various growth processes in plants. Additionally, nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are essential for cell growth and function in plants.


What is the difference between aerenchyma and chlorenchyma?

Chrolenchyma 1) In leaves and tender stems, parenchyma cells may contain chloroplast and in such case a parenchyma is called chlorenchyma. Aerenchyma 1) In aquatic plants, fairly large air cavities are present between the parenchyma cells; such a parenchyma is called aerenchyma.
