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 does carbon dioxide and oxygen enter and leave the leaf?

stomata


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, such as ethanol or methanol, is commonly used to remove chlorophyll from a green leaf during photosynthesis. This process is known as leaf decolorization or leaf destarching.


What does stoma allow to enter the leaf?

Stomata allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaf for photosynthesis, while also allowing oxygen and water vapor to exit the leaf through transpiration.


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 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.


Does photosynthesis take place in the leave or in the roots?

the leaf


Why is the leaf a site of photosynthesis?

because it has special cells allowingcertain substances in and out.


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.

Stomata.


Where do carbon dioxide and oxygen from the air entre and leave the leaf?

Carbon dioxide and oxygen enter and leave the plant through the stomata, on the underside of leaves.


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.

In photosynthesis where does the oxygen leave the leaf?

Yes that is what happens. O2 is a byproduct of process.

Where do carbon dioxide and oxygen from the air enter and leave and leaf?

Carbon dioxide enters through small pores called stomata on the underside of the leaf. Oxygen is released through the same stomata during photosynthesis.
