Why does photosynthesis not take place in the parts of leaves that are white?

The green areas of a leaf contain the type of chlorophyll that is responsible for the process of photosynthesis and which is colored green. It is absent from some areas and those leaf parts are therefore not green and photosynthesis cannot occur there.

What part of the plant captures light for photosynthesis?
The green leaves are the bit that absorbs in the sun to make Photosynthesis.Also if you want to test for starch to boil the leaf till it goes white then drip some Iodine And look for a signs traces of starch. That is the long way to find out if the leaves are the ones who develop the phase of Photosynthesis. Hope this helps!
How do flowers fruits roots and white areas on leaves get their energy?
By respiration: glucose + oxygen gives carbon dioxide + water. This process releases energy. Photosynthesis is the exact reverse and absorbs energy.
Which component of white light is not necessary for photosynthesis?
Green light
Suppose there were singled-celed protozoans in the test tube with Elodea when you the white light experiment. Could you still calculate Elodea's rate of photosynthesis?
Elodea is not sterile and they will have bacteria, algae, and even protozoans on the leaves and stems. However, the bacteria and the protozoans will use the oxygen to dissolve into the water.
How are the structures of trees roots and leaves well suited for their roles in supplying the tree with water and sugar?
the roots are brown and the leaves are green orange and yellow leaves. watewr is clear, sugar is white.
Is pigment of leaves necessary for photosynthesis?
yes because if the plants have no pigment ,they will became white.
Why Will a white rose absorb food coloring added to its container of water?
well based on my science teacher ...... he recently taught us the plant parts and photosynthesis. and there are special cells in the steam that carries nutrients to the petals of a flower or the leaves of a tree :).... hope this helped

What is the importance of having many different pigments in leaves?
Green : Helps in Photosynthesis. White/Colourless : Helps in storing food. Coloured : Attracts the birds/ insects for external pollination
Why leaves have starch?
Starch is the main carbohydrate found in plant tubers and seed endosperm in the form of granules. Starch contains mylose and amylopectin molecules. It is found in various carbohydrates such as white bread, potatoes, beans and rice.

What colour light is thought to be best for photosynthesis?
White
What is the white film that gets on the leaves of Azalea plants?
A healthy azalea should not have a white film on the leaves. White film on the leaves of an azalea are a symptom of mildew, a common plant disease. Use a broad-spectrum fungicide to kill the mildew, and remove any dead or fallen leaves to cut down on mildew spores in the area. To prevent mildew in the first place, do not overwater your azaleas and ensure they have good draining soil and adequate sunlight to help dry leaves and flowers after a rain.
What mostly happens to the rate of photosynthesis as white light levels are decreased?
It decreases. Photosynthesis depends on the availability of light.
What are the white sticky stuff on the kumquat leaves?
The whitefly could be the cause of the white, sticky stuff on the kumquat leaves. The white substance is called flocculent.
What is storage plastid with the prefix meaning white in photosynthesis?
Leucoplast
Which component of white light is not necessary for photosynthesis?
