The leaf contains palisade cells which have lots of chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are the actual site of photosynthesis, as they contain a chemical called chlorophyll which must be present during photosynthesis.

∙ 12y agoThere is a cell within the leaves called chloroplasts and these cells absorb the sunlight which is required for photosynthesis. The bigger the leaf, the more chloroplasts, the more photosynthesizing taking place.

Which part of the typical plant is the site of photosynthesis?
the chloroplast. this is an organelle in plant leaf cells that contains all the pigments and enzymes necessary for photosynthesis.
How does the leaf's thickness affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Leaf thickness is largely due to the thickness of the palisade mesophyll layer. This is where the chloroplast is located and therefore the site area in light is absorbed for photosynthesis. Thicker leaves means more chloroplast, and thus a faster rate of photosynthesis.
What is the part of the plant which is above ground and specialized for photosynthesis?
The leaf of a plant is specialized for photosynthesis. In herbaceous plants, which have green stems, photosynthesis also takes place in the stems. However, the majority of food and nutrients comes from photosynthesis in the leaves.
How does a leaf help a plant grow?
A leaf can help a plant grow because a leaf has something called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. So pretty much a leaf is one way a plant can grow, live, and depend on. Of course it needs more than one to live.
What is the site of photosythesis?
leaves.Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts.They contain photosynthetic pigments
Where is the main site of photosynthesis?
The leaf surface.
What is the primary site of photosynthesis in the leaf?
chloroplast
Why is the leaf a site of photosynthesis?
because it has special cells allowingcertain substances in and out.
Which part of the typical plant is the site of photosynthesis?
the chloroplast. this is an organelle in plant leaf cells that contains all the pigments and enzymes necessary for photosynthesis.
Why is the leaf known as the food factory of the plant?
The leaves contain the majority of a tree's chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is how plants make food; thus the majority of the food is made in the leaves. Leaves=food factory.

What are the jobs of a leaf on a plant?
To perform photosynthesis and thus supply 'food' and energy to the plant.
What leaf can photosynthesis faster between big leaf and small leaf?
big leaves
Where in the leaf does photosynthesis occur?
CHLOROPLAST
