Answers
Answer:
hello mate
Explanation:
Since cacti have their leaves reduced to spines, therefore photosynthesis takes place through the stem. The stems are green by the presence of chlorophyll to make food for the plant.In croton, only the green portions of the leaf take part in photosynthesis.

Answer:
Yes photosynthesis will take place in croton.
Explanation:
The chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis is 'hiding' within the leaf color, whether it be purple, yellow or red. Our eyes lack the ability to see that chlorophyll is there."
Plant leaves have three primary classes of pigments: chlorophyll, carotinoids and anthocyanins.
A third class of pigments found in leaves is the anthocyanins. Anthocyanins absorb blue, blue-green and green light. When leaves contain high concentrations of anthocyanins relative to other pigments, the leaves appear red or purple to our eyes. Anthocyanin pigments are involved in the red / purple colour of croton.
