What do you call the a part of a plant that captures the sun's sunlight?

The part of a plant that captures the sun's sunlight is called a leaf. Leaves contain chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs sunlight and helps in the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into energy.


Does the leave use the sunlight to make food for the plant?

Yes, leaves use sunlight to carry out photosynthesis, a process that enables plants to convert sunlight into energy through the production of glucose. Chlorophyll, a pigment found in leaf cells, captures sunlight and powers the chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.


What part of the plant makes sugar?

Chloroplasts in the plant's leaves are responsible for making sugar through the process of photosynthesis. The chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which captures sunlight and converts it into chemical energy that is used to produce sugars from carbon dioxide and water.


What captures light and makes food for plant cells?

A wide variety of plants including trees, shrubs, and flowers collect energy from the sun or as I like to call it "The Ultimate Energy Source". The plant then takes in C2O or Carbon Dioxide (produced every time a person takes a breath) and releases Oxygen. And as everyone knows, Plants as well as Animals require Water or H2O.


Part of the plant where photosynthesis generaly occurs?

Photosynthesis generally occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Chloroplasts are specialized organelles that contain chlorophyll, the pigment that captures sunlight and converts it into energy through the process of photosynthesis.

What structure captures sunlight to convert into food?

In most plants, the leaf. In other plants like cacti (the Cactus) the green part of the plant itself captures sunlight to make food.

What part of an animal cell captures sunlight?

Animals don't eat sunlight so that cell part doesn't exist in an animal. But in a plant it is th chloroplast.


What part of a plant can do photosynthesis?

mainly leaves, though any part which has chlorophyll does

What is a leafe?

A leaf is a part of a plant that is used to soak up water (along with the roots) and sunlight.

Is a leaf a consumer or decomposer?

A leaf is none of the above because it is not a complete organism. It is part of a plant, which would be a producer because it produces food from sunlight.


The leaf main job then is to make?

The cells of a leaf contain large numbers of chloroplasts, the part of the plant responsible for photosynthesis. The main job of a leaf is to collect sunlight which allows the plant to produce carbohydrates via photosynthesis.


Is a leaf considered a plant?

No. Normally a leaf is only part of a plant.
