Chlorophyll molecules are specifically arranged in and around pigment protein complexes called photosystems which are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. The chloroplasts are found in the leaf cells.

Where are the stomata located on the lower surface of a leaf?

The stomata are located on the lower surface of a leaf.


Where is the xylem and phloem located in a leaf structures?

Xylem and phloem are located in the vascular bundles of a leaf, which are found in the midrib or veins. Xylem is typically located on the upper side of the leaf, while phloem is found on the lower side. These vascular bundles transport water and nutrients throughout the leaf.


Does a new leaf grow out of the leaf scar the following year?

it grows out of the bud which is at the base of the leaf near the scar.zaf.


What side of a leaf are stomata located?

The lower surface of the leaf has the stomata. You can see the reason for this if you cut a leaf in half from upper side to lower side. The upper portion of the leaf consists of tightly packed cells that are full of chloroplasts for taking in light. The lower half of the leaf is made up of loosely arranged cells. This allows room for air to enter the lower part of the leaf through the stomata and contribute carbon dioxide and take away oxygen. The upper surface of the leaf is covered by the cuticle which prevents dehydration, as such the stomata cannot be located or function on the upper surface


Where in a leaf would you expect to find palisade cells?

Palisade cells are typically found in the upper layer of a leaf called the palisade mesophyll. They are located directly beneath the upper epidermis and are responsible for carrying out photosynthesis due to their high concentration of chloroplasts.

What is the green part of a leaf is called?

The tissue in the interior of the leaf is called mesophyll which is the parenchyma, the essential tissue of plants. The mesophyll is divided into two groups inside a leaf; the palisade parenchyma wich is located on the upper part of leaf and the spongy parenchyma which is located on the lower part of leaf.

Where in the leaf does almost all photosynthesis occur?

Almost all photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, specifically in the chlorophyll molecules located in the mesophyll cells of the leaf. The mesophyll cells are located in the middle layer of the leaf, where they are well exposed to light.


Where is chlorophyll located is plants?

They are located in the thylakoids, which are in chloroplasts in the mesophyll cells of a leaf. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chlorophyll is green therefore it is located in the green parts of a plant.


What allows water vapor into and out of a leaf?

Water vapor enters and exits a leaf through small openings called stomata, which are located on the surface of the leaf. When the stomata are open, water vapor can diffuse in and out of the leaf, allowing for gas exchange and regulating the leaf's internal water content.
