What is the adaptation that allows plants to perform photosynthesis?
Plant cells contain chloroplasts which allow them to perform photosynthesis.
Do some bacteria have chlorophyll in chloroplasts so they can conduct photosynthesis.?
No, bacteria generally do not have chloroplasts to begin with. Photosynthetic bacteria contain bacteriochlorophyll, which is similar to the chlorophyll found in plant cells that allow photosynthesis to take place. One distinct phylum of photosynthetic bacteria, known as cyanobacteria, are thought to be the ancestor organisms that eventually evolved into the chloroplasts that are found in modern plants.
How do the eyespots help volvox survive?
The eyespots allow the volvox to find and take in the much needed light to perform photosynthesis, which provides the volvox food to survive.
Why do bacteria need carbohydrates?
bacteria need a carbohydrate energy source to act as a fuel for respiration- glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water (+ ATP energy). bacteria need to respire to allow them to grow in large numbers so that you are able to see the colony as a whole (when growing them in a lab).
Why is it important for a plant to be able to store extra glucose?
Plants store glucose as starch for the nighttime hours when photosynthesis cannot occur. Most green plant cells only store enough starch to last the night. This is to allow for the majority of sugar to be sent to sink tissues (roots and flowers). Most annual plants will allow the majority of the vegetative tissue to die, if it means that healthy seed can be produced.
What organelle allows plants to photosynthesize?
The chloroplasts, which contain the green pigment, chlorophyll, which uses light to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.
What is the adaptation that allows plants to perform photosynthesis?
Plant cells contain chloroplasts which allow them to perform photosynthesis.
What does chlorophyll allow a plant cell to do that an animal cannot?
produce glucose (sugars) through photosynthesis

What is the structure that allow photosynthesis to occur?
The structure that photosynthesis takes place in is called a chloroplast in plants. However, not all photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast. Photosynthetic bacteria for example have no chloroplast, and yet they photosynthesize. Another possible answer to this could be chlorophyll, but again there are differences; different groups of organisms use different types of chlorophyll to facilitate photosynthesis. Thus, I think that the only true answer to this question is that the Sun is THE structure that allows photosynthesis to occur. However, in modern times even this is technically incorrect, as photosynthesis can be stimulated by any suitable light source giving off light at the proper wavelength, for example; a lightbulb. So perhaps the only correct answer is that light itself is what allows photosynthesis to occur.

What is the green substance in plants that need photosynthesis?
Within plant cells, there are organelles called chloroplasts which contain chlorophyll. These organelles allow the cell to undergo photosynthesis by converting water, sunlight and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. The reason why they are green is to allow the most sunlight to be absorbed (absorb all other coloured wavelengths especially the blues and reds).
Why do bacteria need carbohydrates?
bacteria need a carbohydrate energy source to act as a fuel for respiration- glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water (+ ATP energy). bacteria need to respire to allow them to grow in large numbers so that you are able to see the colony as a whole (when growing them in a lab).
What is the name of an respiratory cell?
Cellular respiration is the process of turning oxygen and glucose into water, energy, and carbon dioxide inside cells. This process is the exact opposite process of photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, water, energy, and carbon dioxide are turned into oxygen and glucose inside chloroplasts. Plant cells also have mitochondria, so photosynthesis and cellular respiration both occur in plants. Cellular Respiration (Breathing) C6H12O6 + O2 => H2O + CO2 + Energy (Released during process) glucose(sugar)+oxygen => water+carbon dioxide + energy Photosynthesis: H2O + CO2 + Energy (From Sun) => O2 + C6H12O6 water +carbon dioxide+energy=>Oxygen+glucose(sugar)
What organelle do eukaruotic cells have that allow them to go through photosynthesis?
they are the chloroplasts. They involve in photosynthesis.
What does photosynthesis allow a plant to produce?
Sugars.
What do shallow estuaries allow?
They allow sunlight to reach the benthos to power photosynthesis.
