What part in a flowering pant does photosynthesis occur?
1 answer
Photosynthesis in a flowering plant occurs primarily in the leaves and to a lesser extent in the stems. The leaves contain specialized cells called chloroplasts that contain the pigment chlorophyll, which is responsible for capturing sunlight. These chlorophyll-containing cells use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Glucose produced during photosynthesis is then transported to other parts of the plant for energy or storage.
