Where does photosynthesis in a green plant cell happen?
chloroplast
Why cannot a plant's root cells usually make food for the plant?
Root cells lack chloroplasts, which are necessary for photosynthesis, the process by which plants produce food. Instead, the leaves of the plant have specialized cells called mesophyll cells that contain chloroplasts and are responsible for photosynthesis.
What job of a plant can't a root do?
A root cannot photosynthesize as it lacks chlorophyll, a pigment necessary for converting sunlight into energy. This process is typically carried out by the leaves of a plant.
What will happen it you take leaves off a house plant?
The plant will die as little to no photosynthesis will take place, thus no food and no energy will be produced. The scene of photosynthesis is mostly on the leaves.
What 4 things needed for photosynthesis to happen?

Does photosynthesis happen in all plant cells?
No, Photosynthesis happen only in those plant cells having chloroplasts.
What organelle of a plant does photosynthesis happen?
The chloroplast.
Can plant cells photosynthesis?
Not all types of plant cells perform photosynthesis. Most cells on the shoot of the plant (depending on the plant) are capable of photosynthesis. However, most root cells are white because they lack pigments and, therefore, are incapable of photosynthesis.

In which plant cell does most photosynthesis happen?
The only place photosynthesis happens is in the chloroplast. Each plant or algae contains about 10 to 100 chloroplast.
