Photosynthesis takes place primarily in plant leaves, and little to none occurs in stems, etc. The parts of a typical leaf include the upper and lower epidermis, the mesophyll, the vascular bundle(s) (veins), and the stomates. The upper and lower epidermal cells do not have chloroplasts, thus photosynthesis does not occur there. They serve primarily as protection for the rest of the leaf. The stomates are holes which occur primarily in the lower epidermis and are for air exchange: they let CO2 in and O2 out. The vascular bundles or veins in a leaf are part of the plant's transportation system, moving water and nutrients around the plant as needed. The mesophyll cells have chloroplasts and this is where photosynthesis occurs.

What part of a plant's leaf cells does photosynthesis take place?

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts within the leaf cells of a plant. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing sunlight and converting it into energy through the process of photosynthesis.


What will happen if plant leaves are devoid of stomata?

If the plant is devoid of stomata the process of photosynthesis and respiration won't occur within the plant due to diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide not taking place.


In which cell organelle does photosythesis take place?

Photosynthesis occurs within the chloroplasts of plants


Plant cells undergo photosynthesis Which organelle does this process take place in?

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Within the chloroplasts, the pigment chlorophyll captures sunlight and converts it into chemical energy to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water.


In what part of the plants does photosynthesis occurs in?

Photosynthesis occurs mainly in the chloroplasts of plant cells. More specifically, the chlorophyll pigments within the chloroplasts are responsible for capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.


Are plant cell walls primary site of photosynthesis?

No, plant cell walls are not the primary site of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis takes place primarily in the chloroplasts, which are organelles found within plant cells. The chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy to drive the photosynthetic process.

Where do the molecules need to be at the start in photosynthesis?

In photosynthesis, molecules need to be located within the chloroplasts of plant cells. This is where the process takes place, specifically within the thylakoid membranes and stroma of the chloroplasts.


In which part ot a plant cell does photosynthesis take place?

, Photosynthesis is located in the thylakoid of the chloroplast of a cell. The chloroplast has pigments named chlorophyll, and it is what makes plants green. Photosynthesis is the process of changing sunlight into a usable energy source, which is normally glucose (sugar). The chemical equation of this process would be: 6H2O + 6CO2 ----------> C6H12O6+ 6O2 The emission of oxygen is also a product of photosynthesis, as the process only uses the hydrogen within the water and the oxygen becomes useless for the plant. Good Luck!


Where does photosynthesis happen in a plant cell?

Photosynthesis happens in the chloroplasts of plant cells. This process uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.


What is chylorophyll?

It is the green pigment within the plant which is produced by the process of photosynthesis. Photosythesis is the process in which a plant makes food for itself by trappin the suns rays.
