Where does photosynthesis occur? What are chloroplasts and where they found?
Answers
Answer:
The process of photosynthesis
occurs in leaves . Chloroplasts are the part of plastids. It is found in leaves.
Answer:
Photosynthesis takes place inside plant cells in small things called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts (mostly found in the mesophyll layer) contain a green substance called chlorophyll. Below are the other parts of the cell that work with the chloroplast to make photosynthesis happen.
plant cellCell walls: provide structural and mechanical support, protect cells against pathogens, maintain and determine cell shape, control the rate and direction of growth and generally provide form to the plant.
plant cellCytoplasm: provides the platform for most chemical processes, controlled by enzymes.
plant cellCell membrane: acts as a barrier, controlling the movement of substances into and out of the cell.
plant cellChloroplasts: As described above, simply contain chlorophyll, a green substance which absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
plant cellVacuole: the container that holds moisture, and keeps the plant turgid.
plant cellNucleus: this contains genetic make (the DNA), which controls the activities of the cell.
Chlorophyll absorbs the light energy needed to make photosynthesis happen. It is important to note that not all the color wavelengths of light are absorbed. Plants mostly absorb red and blue wavelengths — they do not absorb light from the green range.
