The epidermis of most plants is made of transparent cells that allow light into the mesophyll cells below them, which contain chloroplasts and are the site of photosynthesis. Additionally, the epidermis contains stomata, which are pores that allow for the exchange of gases with the atmosphere. This lets the plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, as well as allowing for transpiration (evaporation), which ultimately helps to move water into leaves. Waters is also needed for photosynthesis.

Where does photosynthesis generally occur?
Photosynthesis occurs usually occurs in the leaves. It occurs where there is most chlorophyll.
Where does photosynthesis usually occur?
Photosynthesis occurs usually occurs in the leaves. It occurs where there is most chlorophyll.
In which part of the moss does photosynthesis occur?
photosynthesis occurs in the gametophyte
Where in the leaf does photosynthesis occur?
CHLOROPLAST
How much light do herbs need for photosynthesis and growth to occur?
. How much light (sunlight) do herbs need for photosynthesis and growth to occur?
Where in leaves does photosynthesis occur?
In leaves, photosynthesis occurs usually in chloroplasts of mesophyll cells.
Where does photosynthesis generally occur?
Photosynthesis occurs usually occurs in the leaves. It occurs where there is most chlorophyll.
What are the layers leafs?
The waxy translucent layer is the cuticle the upper epidermis is where most photosynthesis occurs and the lower epidermis where very little photosynthesis occurs
Where does photosynthesis usually occur?
Photosynthesis occurs usually occurs in the leaves. It occurs where there is most chlorophyll.
Which part of the flower does photosynthesis occur?
The flower part of plants do not usually contribute to the photosynthetic activity undertaken by the plant. Photosynthesis usually occurs in the leaves (and sometimes stems) of plants.
What thing have to happen for photosynthesis to occur?
What is needed to occur is Water, Carbon Dioxide, chorophyll, sunlight for the Photosynthesis to occur.
Why does photosynthesis not happen in the root of a plant?
Roots are underground so they don't get any energy from sunlight they need for photosynthesis.
Where does The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the of plant cells.?
The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the chloroplast in the cells in plants.
What is the job of the upper and lower epidermis layers?
the upper epidermis prevents water loss while the lower allows gases to enter and exit, resulting in photosynthesis
What is the job of the upper and lower epidermis layer?
the upper epidermis prevents water loss while the lower allows gases to enter and exit, resulting in photosynthesis
Where does the process of photosynthesis take place within the plant?
Photosynthesis takes place primarily in plant leaves, and little to none occurs in stems, etc. The parts of a typical leaf include the upper and lower epidermis, the mesophyll, the vascular bundle(s) (veins), and the stomates. The upper and lower epidermal cells do not have chloroplasts, thus photosynthesis does not occur there. They serve primarily as protection for the rest of the leaf. The stomates are holes which occur primarily in the lower epidermis and are for air exchange: they let CO2 in and O2 out. The vascular bundles or veins in a leaf are part of the plant's transportation system, moving water and nutrients around the plant as needed. The mesophyll cells have chloroplasts and this is where photosynthesis occurs.
Why does photosynthesis occur in leaves?
Photosynthesis needs sunlight to occur. Therefore photosynthesis does not occur in the roots because they do not receive any sunlight. The leaves are the parts of the plant most exposed to the light.
