Roots are underground so they don't get any energy from sunlight they need for photosynthesis.

∙ 9y agoWell,where the roots are usually located there is no light,therefore there is no need to photosynthesis as photosynthesis needs light.

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?
light carbon dioxide water a plant
Does photosynthesis happen in all plant cells?
No, Photosynthesis happen only in those plant cells having chloroplasts.
Where does photosynthesis happen in a plant cell?
Photosynthesis happens in the chloroplasts of plant cells. This process uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
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.
Where n a plant does photosynthesis happen?
In te leaves
In which part of the plant cell does photosynthesis happen?
The chloroplast.
Why is there a chloroplast in a plant cell?
To enable photosynthesis to happen.
Where does photosynthesis in a green plant cell happen?
chloroplast
What happen to the root if the tissues were damaged?
the root of the plant die .....?
Where is the Cell does Photosynthesis happen?
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Within the chloroplasts, chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
Where does a plants photosynthesis happen?
it happens in the chloroplasts of the plant cells
What will happen to a plant if its without sunlight?
it will dry up Photosynthesis would not be able to happen.
