NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process by which green leaves prepare their own food by using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll is called photosynthesis. Transpiration : excess water taken up by the plants is released into the air in the form of water vapour through stomata. The process is called transpiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -What are the different types of leaves? There are two different types of leaves – simple and compound leaves. Simple leaves are lobed or divided but do not form distinct leaflets. Whereas, in a compound leaf the leaves are divided into distinct leaflets and each leaflet has a small petiole.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cells in the mesophyll of the leaf have numerous chloroplasts. In leaves, cells in the mesophyll (the tissue between the upper and lower epidermis) are uniquely suited to carry out photosynthesis on a large scale. This is due to their high concentration of chloroplasts, which are the sites of photosynthesis.
