Study Notes
Photosynthesis in Leaves
- Leaves are primary sites for photosynthesis.
- Chlorophyll, a green pigment found in chloroplasts, gives leaves their green color.
- Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which powers the creation of organic molecules inside chloroplasts.
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) enters and oxygen (O2) exits leaves through tiny openings called stomata.
