Question

When does plants start to photosynthesis

Answer 1

During photosynthesis, a plant translates
`CO_(2)`, water and light into
`O_(2)`. I assume the carbon
`C` is further used for the growing process. I wonder how the plant grows before the time where photosynthesis is possible, i.e. before there are even leaves, in which photosynthesis occurs.

Answer 2

Photosynthesis starts as soon as the reaction centres start getting light. Reaction centres are the proteins that contain the green chlorophyll pigments that absorb the light the plant uses
