1. where are most photosynthetic cells in plants found?
2. about how many chloroplasts can be found in photosynthetic cells?

chloroplasts are double membrane organelles with a smooth outer membrane and an inner membrane folded into disc - shaped sacs called thylakoids. color and label the outer membrane light green. thylakoids, containing chlorophyll and other accessory pigments (red, orange, yellow, brown), are in stacks called granum (grana, plural). color and label the grana (stack) dark green in figure 1. grana are connected to each other by structures called lamellae, and they are surrounded by a gel - like material called stroma. color and label the lamellae brown in figure 1. color and label the stroma light blue in figure 1.

1. about how many chloroplasts can be found in photosynthetic cells?

Explanation:

Question 20

Photosynthesis occurs in cells with chloroplasts. In plants, the leaves are the main site for photosynthesis, and the mesophyll cells (palisade and spongy mesophyll) in the leaf contain the most chloroplasts, hence the most photosynthetic cells.

Photosynthetic cells, like those in the mesophyll of plant leaves, typically contain a large number of chloroplasts. On average, a photosynthetic cell (e.g., a palisade mesophyll cell) can have around 10 to 100 chloroplasts, with a common estimate being about 50 - 100 chloroplasts per cell.

Answer:

Most photosynthetic cells in plants are found in the mesophyll (palisade and spongy mesophyll) of the leaves.
