Where does photosynthesis not occur in a leaf?

Answer 1

Green plants use a pigment called chlorophyll to photosynthesise. Chlorophyll absorbs strongly in the red end of the visible spectrum, and reflects green light, which is why it looks green.

Some plants, and many other photosynthetic organisms, use pigments other than chlorophyll to capture sunlight. These other pigments, mainly xanthophylls and bacterophylls, reflect various parts of the spectrum. For example xanthophylls reflect yellow light while bacterophylls reflect purple light. Many photosynthetic organisms use more than one pigment, each reflecting different parts of the spectrum, and collectively capturing a wide range of the visible part of the sun's energy. These plants may look purple or even almost black.

Answer 2

I know usually the stem, but is it in the vascular tissue, the dermal tissue, mesophyll tissue, or meristematic tissue??Because that's where the photosynthesis reaction centers (chloroplasts) are located.

And they are located in the leaves, because photosynthesis requires sunlight, and the leaves are particularly well designed to capture as much sunlight as possible as well as allowing the exchange of CO2 and O2, and delivery of water from the roots since water is another requirement for photosynthesis.

Answer 3

Photosynthesis does not occur in the leaf's veins or vascular tissue, as they mainly function in transporting water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. Instead, photosynthesis happens primarily in the palisade and spongy mesophyll cells, which are located in the leaf's interior layers where they can maximize sunlight absorption.

Answer 4

In Chloroplasts which are organelles found in cells of leaves.

Answer 5

Photosynthesis occurs within the chloroplast, so photosynthesis does not occur where the chloroplast is not. Keep in mind that the chloroplast does not occupy the enterity of the leaf.
