Cells are structural and functional units of every biotic organism. Each cell can absorb nutrients and convert it into energy, carry out specialized functions, and reproduce if necessary (NCBI). They are composed of many organelles, little organs which contain specific roles in cells to make it function properly as a whole (Ireland). ... During photosynthesis, chlorophyll containing cells of leaves on plants in the presence of sunlight use carbon dioxide and water to produce carbohydrate and oxygen. ... During photosynthesis, stomata, a tiny pore in plant leaves surrounded by a pair of guard c...

As it is known, light is one of the primary materials needed for successful photosynthesis in plants. ... Photosynthesis requires several raw materials in order to function. ... The resulting product is sugar, which is stored for further usage by the plant as fuel for the growth process requiring respiration. ... The plant was purred in a blender which obliterated the cell structure, allowing the internal organelles to be separated from each other through the process of centrifuge. Low speed centrifuge was used to filter out and pellet the large cell debris, the mixture formally known as...

Another term was the petiole, which is a leaf stalk that connects the leaf to the plant. ... Another pigment found in leaves and plants is carotene. ... It also functions as an accessory absorber. ... Unlike chlorophyll and carotene, anthocyanins are not attached to cell membranes, but are dissolved in the cell sap. ... The veins that carry fluids into and out of the leaf gradually close off as a layer of cells forms at the base of each leaf. ...
