How many chromosomes in a leaf cell?
A leaf cell in most plants typically contains the same number of chromosomes as other somatic cells, which is usually a diploid number. This means that a leaf cell usually contains two sets of chromosomes, with the specific number varying among different plant species.
What contains most of the cells DNA?
The cell nucleus contains most of the cell's DNA. It is where the genetic material is organized into chromosomes and where most of the cell's DNA replication and transcription processes occur.
When you look at a green leaf why do you see the color green?
a leaf look green in sunlight as it has green colored pigment in it. When sunlight falls on it all other colors are absorbed by the leaf as sunlight forphotosynthesis and green color is reflected to our eyes and the leaf look green to us.
Which of these chemicals is a major photosynthetic pigment in plants?
Chlorophyll is the major photosynthetic pigment in plants. It absorbs light energy, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen during the process of photosynthesis.
What is the pigment that gives a plant its green color?
Chlorophyll a is the most abundant pigment and it is the pigment that reflects green.
Why is most of the chlorophyll on the topside of the leaf?
Most of the chlorophyll is on the topside of the leaf because that is the part of the leaf that receives the most sunlight. Any plant that didn't follow that pattern would be crowded out by the other, more successful, plants.
Where is most chlorophyll in a plant located?
Its located in the leaf of the plant
What layer in a leaf contains the most chloroplasts?
The palisade layer of the leaf contains the most chloroplasts. This layer is positioned right below the upper epidermis and is responsible for the majority of photosynthesis due to its high concentration of chloroplasts.
What chemical is found inside most plant cells?
There are many chemicals that reside in a leaf's cell. The one responsible for converting the Sun's energy into chemical potential energy is called chlorophyll.
Where in the leaf would you expect to find cells with the most chlorophyll?
Cells with the most chlorophyll would be found in the mesophyll layer of the leaf, particularly in the palisade mesophyll cells. These cells are specialized for photosynthesis and contain a large number of chloroplasts, which is where chlorophyll is located.
How many chromosomes in a leaf cell?
A leaf cell in most plants typically contains the same number of chromosomes as other somatic cells, which is usually a diploid number. This means that a leaf cell usually contains two sets of chromosomes, with the specific number varying among different plant species.
How do you draw and label each part of leaf?
Can't draw a diagram for you but, from top to bottom: cuticle-waxy substance secreted by epidermis cells that waterproofs the leaf upper epidermis-closely fitted together like a jigsaw. no chlorophyll palisade layer-where most photosynthesis occurs. chlorophyll present spongy layer-gases diffuse through this layer. chlorophyll present lower epidermis (contains stomata)-like upper epidermis. stomata contain chlorophyll
The main photosynthesis area of a leaf is composed of what?
palisade cells they contain the most chlorophyll
What leaf layer contaiins chloroplast?
I believe that the palisade layer has the most chloroplast, because it has the chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight.
Where is most of the chlorophyll located in the plant?
The uppermost surface of a plant's leaves is where most chloroplasts are located, because that is where the sunlight will shine on them.
Why is most grasses green?
It is green because, like most plants, it has chlorophyll in it, chlorophyll is a green particle in a plant cell used for photosynthesis.
What organism can make its own food and usually contains chlorophyll?
Most green plants contain a green pigment called chlorophyll in their leaves. This chlorophyll is responsible for the manufacture of food in plants.
