A plant leaf is made up of cells. These cells are made up, basically of the cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, chloroplasts and a vacuole (+Mitochondria and ribosomes for GCSE). the chloroplasts have a substance in them called chlorophyll (this makes leaves green), and it is the chloroplasts that carry out photosynthesis by absorbing sunlight (light energy) and convert it into chemical energy for use in the plant.
