what two substances enter and leave the leaf in photosynthesis?

The leaf first takes in Carbon Dioxide, or CO2, into it's self through the bottom of the leaf. It uses the CO2 and makes sugars out of it, water, and sunlight. This reaction makes a byproduct, Oxygen, that the leaf lets out, which we use to breathe.

How do substances for photosynthesis enter and leave the plant?
The gas for photosynthesis...carbon dioxide diffuses into the plant through its stomata ('holes' in the leaf's underside). Water is transported through the plant in the xylem tube (waterproof tube that makes up part of the plants veins and covers the whole plants structure) as it is drawn up from the roots where it is absorbed. It is drawn up by the water evaporationg through the stomata. The light obviously enters the leaf and enters the chloroplasts where it combines with the chlorophyll to provide the energy for the photosynthesis reaction. The products from photosynthesis...glucose and oxygen are removed from the plant leaves. Glucose through the phloem tube (another of the veins) and oxygen through diffusion through the stomata or it is used up in respiration.
Which substances is used to remove chlorophyll from a green leaf during photosynthesis?
alcohol is used to remove chlorophyll
How does carbon dioxide and oxygen enter and leave the leaf?
stomata
Which gas goes into a leaf for photosynthesis and which gas comes out of the leaf?
A plants leaves are used to catch photons (sunrays) from the sun, carbon dioxide, and water. Those are the three basic ingredients needed for a plant to complete photosynthesis.
What is the whole between two guard cells in a leaf called?
It's called a stoma (plural stomata) and its function is to allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaf for photosynthesis. The guard cells sre responsible for regulating the size of the stoma.
What leaf structure is related to both photosynthesis and transpiration?
The stomata are structures on a leaf that relate to both photosynthesis and transpiration. The stomata facilitate gas exchange so the carbon dioxide can enter and the oxygen can leave. However, water vapor can also leave through a process called transpiration.
Why is the leaf a site of photosynthesis?
because it has special cells allowingcertain substances in and out.
Does photosynthesis take place in the leave or in the roots?
the leaf
What material could not enter a leaf if you were to coat it with wax?
Gas, nutrients, and water would not be able to enter a leaf if it were coated with wax. The waxy layer would create a barrier that prevents the entry of these substances, which are essential for the leaf's photosynthesis and overall functioning.
What substances have to be present in a leaf for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll in chloroplasts, Carbon Dioxide, Water and Sunlight.
What chemicals that enter leaves are reactants for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide enter the leaf from the air
What is an adaptation of a leaf for photosynthesis?
The leaf has a wide range of pores which allow Carbon Dioxide to enter and Oxygen to exit.

How does air enter and leave the leaf?
Stomata.
What part of a leaf contains chemicals needed for photosynthesis?
The chloroplast houses the chlorophyll, a green substance which traps sunlight and uses it to convert simpler substances into complex substances during the process of photosynthesis.
In photosynthesis where does the oxygen leave the leaf?
Yes that is what happens. O2 is a byproduct of process.
Which substances is used to remove chlorophyll from a green leaf during photosynthesis?
alcohol is used to remove chlorophyll
