Yes it has to have sunlight, or imatated sunlight as the light causes the water to split, which is needed by the plant to make food ( c6h12o6) its a long process but yes it needs light. Hence the name PHOTOsynthesis

Is warmth necessary for photosynthesis?

Warmth is necessary for photosynthesis to occur, as it speeds up the chemical reactions in the process. However, excessive heat can also be detrimental to photosynthesis, as it can denature enzymes involved in the process.


Do all the cells of plants contain chlorophyll?

Most, but not all plant cells contain chlorophyll. Chlorophyll requires light in order for photosynthesis to occur, it make no sense then that plants produce chlorophyll in cells where no sunlight can reach; for this reason root cells and tissues do not contain chlorophyll


What parts of a plant help with photosynesis?

The chloroplasts within plant cells are responsible for photosynthesis. Specifically, the thylakoid membranes within the chloroplasts contain pigments like chlorophyll that capture light energy for the process of photosynthesis to occur. The chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which powers the chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

What are all the parts of photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis consists of two main stages: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). In the light-dependent reactions, which occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, sunlight is captured by chlorophyll, leading to the production of ATP and NADPH while splitting water molecules to release oxygen. The Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma, where ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. Together, these processes enable plants to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in carbohydrates.

Where do the reactions of photosynthesis happen?

They occur first within the cytochrome biochemical photosynthetic Enzymes that reside within the Thylacoid membrane systems that reside within the Grana and Stroma of the Chloroplasts that reside within photosynthetic Organisms.

Where is a nucleus?

The palisade cell's nucleus is located in the cytoplasm area. Whilst the nucleus controls what the cell does, the cytoplasm is a jelly-like material or substance where all the chemical reactions occur. The nucleus is surrounded or close to chloroplasts which contain chlorophyll for the process of photosynthesis.


Do all green plants photosynthesis?

Almost all plants use photosynthesis, even some without chlorophyll. But green plants would not be green if they were not using chlorophyll-based photosynthesis.

What is the cell organelle involved in the process of photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll is the pigment most associated with photosynthesis. It's stored in an organelle known as a chloroplast. The chloroplasts are found all throughout the cell, as each cell containing chloroplast might contain 10 to 100 of them.

What is the structure that allow photosynthesis to occur?

The structure that photosynthesis takes place in is called a chloroplast in plants. However, not all photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast. Photosynthetic bacteria for example have no chloroplast, and yet they photosynthesize. Another possible answer to this could be chlorophyll, but again there are differences; different groups of organisms use different types of chlorophyll to facilitate photosynthesis. Thus, I think that the only true answer to this question is that the Sun is THE structure that allows photosynthesis to occur. However, in modern times even this is technically incorrect, as photosynthesis can be stimulated by any suitable light source giving off light at the proper wavelength, for example; a lightbulb. So perhaps the only correct answer is that light itself is what allows photosynthesis to occur.

Why do all plants contain chlorophyll?

Chlorophyll is a pigment that makes photosynthesis in the plant and without photosynthesis there would be no glucose, oxygen, and water from the plant and the plant would ultimately die
