What triggers leaves to grow back in the spring?
An increase in sunlight and temperature along with more water triggers trees to produce leaves. Auxin production begins and photosynthesis begins in chlorophyll.
What is common in chlorophyll and haemoglobin?
1) chlorophyll is made from a porphyrin ring structure, similar to heme in hemoglobin 2) chlorophyll is used for energy transfer processes (similar to the cytochrome systems of animals)
How does auxin produce phototropism?
Auxin accumulates on the lower surface of the root and inhibits elongation of cells in that region.
What effects does auxin have on plants?
auxin plays an important role in the growth of meristemetic tissue so as to increase the height of plant.
The chemical that promotes phototropism is?
Auxin.
What triggers leaves to grow back in the spring?
An increase in sunlight and temperature along with more water triggers trees to produce leaves. Auxin production begins and photosynthesis begins in chlorophyll.
What is the chemical produced growing in root tips?
Auxin hormone
What is the relationship between auxin and phototropism?
Phototropism is the biological process for auxin's.
Is auxin a plant hormone or animal hormone?
Auxin is a hormone that is found solely in plants.
What determines the color of plastids?
the color of plastids are similar to the chlorophyll in the chloroplast.
What is common in chlorophyll and haemoglobin?
1) chlorophyll is made from a porphyrin ring structure, similar to heme in hemoglobin 2) chlorophyll is used for energy transfer processes (similar to the cytochrome systems of animals)
What mineral is an essential compont of chlorophyll?
magnesium. we have iron in our hemoglobin, and plants have a similar shaped molecule with magnesium in the same location, called chlorophyll
What structural component does chlorophyll similar have that allows it to capture light?
porphyrin rings
How does auxin produce phototropism?
Auxin accumulates on the lower surface of the root and inhibits elongation of cells in that region.
What is the hormone for root?
auxin
What is suplemental?
A chlorophyll supplement would include blue-green algae, spirulina, or chorella. These contain high concentrations of the green pigment found in plants, chlorophyll. This is a blood-building supplement as the chemical structure of chlorophyll is similar to hemoglobin.
Why is pheophytin less polar than chlorophyll?
Pheophytin and Chlorophyll are similar in there makeup. The difference between the two is that the magnesium ion is replaced by hydrogen making it less polar.
