Before photosynthesis can take place light must be what by plants?

Before photosynthesis can take place, light must be absorbed by plants. Plants contain pigments, such as chlorophyll, that are capable of capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy during the photosynthesis process.


Does a fungus have chlorophyll?

Fungi do not have chlorophyll in their cells. They cannot produce food, so they must depend upon other living or dead things for food. Fungi CANNOT survive alone.

Why can plants make their own food but animals cant?

Plants can make their own food through the process of photosynthesis, where they use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose. This is possible because plants contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures sunlight and converts it into energy. Animals, on the other hand, do not have chlorophyll or the necessary cellular structures to carry out photosynthesis, so they must obtain their energy by consuming plants, other animals, or both.


Why are trees leaves green?

Leaves appear green because they contain chloroplasts that are green in color. The function of these chloroplasts are to absorb sunlight and convert it into energy for the plant to feed on. In order for us to be able to see an object, the object must reflect light and in this situation the chloroplasts reflect sunlight and leaves appear green.


Is it possible to cross a green and an albino plant?

While many fungi are white, non parasitic plants must have green chlorophyll to produce carbohydrates. And while albino plants are virtually nonexistent, variegated (green and white striped or mottled) plants exist, largely due to cultivation by humans for their aesthetic value.

What is the material in the leaf that must be present for photosynthesis to occur?

The material is Chlorophyll and it comes from a green part of a plant cell called the chloroplast.


What chemical must be present in a cell for it to be able to carry out photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll is the chemical that must be present in a cell for it to carry out photosynthesis. It is a pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy and allows the plant to convert sunlight into chemical energy.


What material is very important for all life plants use it to make food?

Chlorophyll. It is very important that all plants must have to make food


What must be present in order to say that correlation exist?

Is vacuole the site of photosynthesis?

The site of photosynthesis is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts contain a substance called chlorophyll which must be present during photosynthesis.


Which reion ofhe visible spectrum is not absorbed well by chlorophyll?

I'm thinking it must be the green region. That's probably why plants look green to me, after their chlorophyll has absorbed all the other colors of light.


What 4 substances must be present to photosynthesis to occur?

To undergo photosynthesis, plants require light, carbon dioxide, water, and chlorophyll. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in the presence of carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen.


What is the name of the plants without no chlorophyll?

Plants without chlorophyll are called heterotrophic or non-photosynthetic plants. Examples include Indian pipe (Monotropa uniflora) and broomrape (Orobanche spp.), which obtain nutrients by parasitizing other plants.


What is the kids definition of chlorpyll?

Chlorophyll (you must learn to spell it right) is the green stuff in leaves and plants that means they can use the energy of sunlight.


Do plants necessary contains chlorophyll?

No there are some plants that do not. You must think about where they are found. It would be useless to a plant that chlorophyll that is on the bottom of the ocean floor or that is found in areas that can not get sunlight. This is assuming that you know what the definition of a plant is, it is a organism that has a cell wall, as opposed to the animal world that does not, just a cell membrane.


Does fungi have chlorolphyll?

No they don't have chlorophyll. Because of this they can't produce their own food from sunlight, they must absorb it from living or previously living plants and/or animals.


What must present in the soil so it can be incorporated into plants to help them live?
