Question

This part of the plant is called its food factory because it produces food for the plant using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Which part of the plant is this?
A) Root
B) Flower
C) Leaf
D) Steam

Answer 1

Hint: A lateral outgrowth from a plant stem that is usually a flattened extended greenish organ with a variable shape, constitutes a unit of the foliage and works primarily in the production of food.

Complete answer:
 Photosynthesis, the mechanism of converting sunlight energy into "food," is divided into two simple reaction sets, known as the light reactions and the carbon dioxide-using calvin cycle.
The chemical equation of photosynthesis is:
\[6CO_2\]\[ + \]\[6H_2O\]\[ + \]Light Energy → \[C_6H_{12}O_6\]\[ + \]\[6O_2\]
In the chloroplast, an organelle unique to plant cells, photosynthesis occurs. If a single leaf of a winter jasmine leaf is examined under a microscope, hundreds of tiny green ovals are present within each cell. These are chloroplasts, the organelles that in plants and algae perform photosynthesis. Certain kinds of bacteria closely mimic chloroplasts and also have their own circular DNA and ribosomes. In fact, the endosymbiotic theory holds that once independently living bacteria were chloroplasts (prokaryotes). So, when we say that photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, we are not only talking about the organelles in plants and algae but also about certain bacteria, basically all photosynthetic autotrophs, in other words. Grana consists of membranes that are sac-like, known as thylakoid membranes. Photosystems, which are groups of molecules that include chlorophyll, a green pigment, include these membranes. In the thylakoid membranes, the light reactions of photosynthesis take place. The area outside the thylakoid membranes is the stroma. This is where the Calvin cycle's reactions take place.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Note: Young leaves wrap tightly throughout the tips of growing stems and hold the sensitive tips moist and help protect them from detrimental climate and many different dangers. Animals cannot make their private food and rely upon plant life leaves for their easy supply of food. Leaves help make the air breathable with the aid of the use of releasing oxygen withinside the route of photosynthesis.
