What else can I help you with?
Do leaves photosynthesize?
Leave per se do not photosynthesize but the organelles within the cells of the leaves (the chloroplasts) do.
What part of the cactus does photosynthesis?
In a cactus the leaves have been reduced to spines, to reduce the surface area from which water can be lost and to deter animals from eating the plant. As there are no leaves, photosynthesis must take place in the stem.
Where is the chlorophyll in the leaf?
It is located in the stroma of a plant cell.
Why does photosynthesis occur in leaves?
Photosynthesis needs sunlight to occur. Therefore photosynthesis does not occur in the roots because they do not receive any sunlight. The leaves are the parts of the plant most exposed to the light.
Explain why plants make their sugar in the leaves?
Plants produce sugar in their leaves primarily because leaves contain chloroplasts, which are specialized organelles that facilitate photosynthesis. This process uses sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to convert light energy into chemical energy, resulting in the formation of glucose. The high surface area of leaves maximizes light absorption, making them the ideal location for this vital energy production. Additionally, the proximity of leaves to the atmosphere allows for efficient gas exchange, crucial for photosynthesis.
What puts green in leaves?
Chlorophyll in the chloroplast organelles.
Do leaves photosynthesize?
Leave per se do not photosynthesize but the organelles within the cells of the leaves (the chloroplasts) do.
What are the green organelles seen in the in the elodea leaves called?
They are chloroplasts.
What uses organelles in their leaves to collect solar energy?
heterotrophs

Which organelles are present both inside the nucleos and on the surface of the ER?
Ribosomes are found on the surface of the rough ER
What are numerous threadlike organelles that protrude from the surface of a cell and are packed in tight rows?
Cilia are numerous threadlike organelles that protrude from the surface of a cell and are packed in tight rows. They are involved in cell movement and the movement of materials across the cell surface.
Why do leaves have a large surface area?
Leaves are broad, thin and flat to provide a large surface area, to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. :)
Why do leaves have a big surface area?
leaves have a big surface area because then they can absorb all the possible light energy they can for photosynthesis.
What organelles are present in surface area to volume ratio?
Mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and ribosomes are organelles that play a role in maintaining the surface area to volume ratio of a cell. These organelles are involved in energy production, protein synthesis, and cellular functions that help optimize the exchange of molecules between the cell and its environment.
What is the green organelles called from elodea leaves?
they are called chloroplasts and they help to preform photosynthesis in the plant cell.
