Chlorophyll is arranged in clusters called photosystem. It is like a upside down cone. It is made from secondary chlorophyll pigments surrounding a reaction center(primary pigment) at the tip of the cone. The secondary pigments absorb the light energy and pass it to the reaction center.

Why water reaches great heights in the trees because of suction pull caused by?
Transpiration. The water is leaving the leaves by the stomata and water is a polar molecule that is hydrogen bonded, one molecule to another. This cohesion allows the molecules of water to pull other molecules up the tree as they leave into the atmosphere through the stomata.
When does the polypeptide stop growing?
It reaches a stop codon on the mRNA molecule
What step happens in translation?
The ribosome reaches the start codon.
Are molecules in the compound likely to be polar or non polar if it has a relatively high boiling point compared to molecules with similar mass?
Polar molecules of smilar size to non-polar molecules have a higher melting and boiling point due to their stronger force of attraction.. eg. CO2. which is non-polar, you can can find free floating in the atmosphere whereas a polar molecule such as Water, doesn't boil until it reaches at least 100(Co) degrees. i like dump
What happens to the movement of molecules at equillibrium?
There is little movement once it reaches equillibrium. They continue to move regularly.
Why are plants steams green?
Plants are green because they have a substance called chlorophyll in them. Understanding why chlorophyll is green requires a little biology, chemistry and physics. If we shine white light on chlorophyll, its molecules will absorb certain colors of light. The light that isn't absorbed is reflected, which is what our eyes see. A red apple appears red because the molecule of pigment in the apple's skin absorbs blue light, not red. Thus, we see red. Chlorophyll molecules absorb blue light and some red light. The other colors are reflected resulting in the green color that we associate with plants. Plants get their energy to grow through a process called photosynthesis. Large numbers of chlorophyll molecules acts as the antenna that actually harvest sunlight and start to convert it in to a useful form. Here's where the absorbent properties of the chlorophyll molecule come into play. It turns out that eons of evolutionary design have matched the absorbance of chlorophyll to the actual color of the sunlight that reaches the leaves. Sunlight consists of primarily blue and red light mixed together, which are exactly the colors that chlorophyll molecules like to absorb. Light is a form of energy, so the chlorophyll is able to harvest the sunlight with little waste.

Which molecule is made during the light-dependent reactions?
Photosystems are the light-harvesting units of the thylakoid membrane.Each photosystem is a complex of proteins and other kinds of moleculea and includes an antenna consisting of a few hundred pigment molecules. When any antenna molecule absorbs a photon, the energy is transmitted from pigment molecule to pigment molecule until it reaches a particular chlorophyll a.Only this chlorophyll molecule is the reaction center and the first light-driven chemical reaction of photosynthesis occures.
How does chorophyll help a plant?
Chlorophyll is what traps light energy in order for the plant to produce energy (ATP and NADPH) to be used in the Calvin cycle. Chlorophyll is found within the chloroplasts in clusters known as the antennae complex. the light excites an electron within the antennae complex and the electron is passed down energetically favorable chlorophyll molecules until it reaches what is called the reaction center. This is where the electron can do work in producing the energy... but I wont ramble on about that.
When does the polypeptide stop growing?
It reaches a stop codon on the mRNA molecule
Will molecules move slower when you remove heat?
Yes, until the Kelvin temperature reaches 0 (the Celsius reaches -273). That is the point known as absolute zero, where the molecules do not move at all.
What step happens in translation?
The ribosome reaches the start codon.
When solar energy reaches a green plant cell what will occurs?
All of the wavelengths of the solar energy are reflected by the green Chlorophyll.
Where does the process of translation do in mRNA?
The newly spliced mRNA binds to a ribosome. tRNA molecules migrate towards the ribosome, these tRNA molecules carries a specific amino acid. The ribosome allows two tRNA molecules into the ribosome at a time. The tRNA molecules have complementary anti-codons to the codons present on the mRNA strand. Two tRNA move into the ribosome and their anti-codons join to complementary codons on the mRNA strand. As one molecule leaves the ribosome, its amino acid forms a peptide bond with an amino acid on the adjacent tRNA molecule, with the help of ATP and an enzyme. As the ribosome moves along the the mRNA strand, a polypeptide chain is created. The ribosome stops reading the mRNA strand when it reaches a stop codon.
What happens when a gas reaches its lowest temperature?
The molecules of the gas will stop moving.
What happens when the oxygen molecule reaches the muscle intended and how does it change into CO2?
It travels into the muscle cell. The cells break down glucose to produce energy in a process called Respiration. Glucose is a hydrocarbon molecule which contains energy in the bonds. To realease as much energy as possible the molecule must be completely broken down the constituent molecules (carbon and hydrogen) have oxygen addd to them, making CO2 and water.
