Leaves Chlorophyll is found precisely in the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells, which are above the ground. Most chloroplasts are found in leaves.
Chlorophyll absorbs energy for the plant in the form of sunlight.
It is essential for photosynthesis because without this energy Carbon dioxide and water would not react together to make glucose. The layers of a leaf which contain air spaces are the spongy mesophyll cells. The layer of a leaf which contain small holes called stomata is the lower epidermis. The layers of a leaf which contain most chlorophyll are the palisade layer. The layers of a leaf, which makes a layer of wax, are the upper and lower epidermis.
