Where in chloroplasts is light energy absorbed?
chloroplast have membrane bound sac like structures piled up on top of each other called thylakoids which have chlorophyll(pigment having "Mg"ion) filled in them, this pigment is primarily responsible for absorption of photons of light
Where are chlorophyll and chloroplasts found?
These are found in the green leaves of plants. Chloroplasts are organelles inside each cell of a leaf which capture light energy, and use it in conjunction with the chemical chlorophyll to store this energy in the molecules ATP and ADPH. This process is called Photosynthesis, and is how plants make their energy. It produces organic molecules and oxygen from Carbon Dioxide and water; the plants give out oxygen as a by-product.
What makes a plant stem green?
Some plants have green stems because of the chloroplasts within each plant cell. Although we generally think about the leaves of a plant having chloroplasts and making 'food' for the plant- the cells of the main stem of the plant, or its branches may also have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts can be easily seen through a microscope and look like flat green disks inside the cell.
How many quantasome are there in a thylakoids?
Quantasomes are structures associated with thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts, and they are believed to play a role in the organization of chlorophyll and other pigments for photosynthesis. Each quantasome typically contains around 200 chlorophyll molecules. The number of quantasomes in a thylakoid can vary, but estimates suggest that there could be several hundred to thousands of quantasomes per thylakoid, depending on the plant species and environmental conditions.
What are the chlorophyll containing bodies in the chloroplast?
The chlorophyll-containing bodies in the chloroplast are called thylakoids. Thylakoids are membranous sacs that contain chlorophyll pigments and other components necessary for photosynthesis. They are stacked on top of each other in columns called grana.
Where does photosynthesis take place in plant cells?
Within the plant cells (usually leaf cells), the cytoplasm contains organelles called chloroplasts where photosynthesis takes place. Each chloroplast contains stacks of structures called thylakoids, which contain the chlorophyll.

Does chloroplast contain stoma?
The chloroplast is a cellular organelle that performs photosynthesis while a stoma (plural: stomata) is a two-celled structure seen on leaf surfaces. Thus, chloroplasts cannote be said to "contain stomata". Stomata are pores that regulate water evaporation and gas exchange. The two guard cells that form the stomatal pore each contain chloroplasts. However, I feel you may be confusing the term "stoma" with "stroma". "Stroma" is a term used for the liquid matrix seen inside chloroplasts - i.e. chloroplasts contain stroma. Many important photosynthetic reactions occur in the stroma and thylakoids in the chloroplast are surrounded by it.
Is mindless behavior related to each other?
no there are not related but they treat each other like brothers
What si cloropyll?
Chlorophyll Chlorophyll, green pigment that gives most plants their color and enables them to carry on the process of photosynthesis. Chemically, chlorophyll has several similar forms, each containing a complex ring structure and a long hydrocarbon tail. The molecular structure of the chlorophylls is similar to that of the heme portion of hemoglobin, except that the latter contains iron in place of magnesium. Within the photosynthetic cells of plants the chlorophyll is in the chloroplasts-small, roundish, dense protoplasmic bodies that contain the grana, or disks, where the chlorophyll molecules are located. Chlorophyll absorbs light in the red and blue-violet portions of the visible spectrum; the green portion is not absorbed and, reflected, gives chlorophyll its characteristic color. Chlorophyll tends to mask the presence of colors in plants from other substances, such as the carotenoids. When the amount of chlorophyll decreases, the other colors become apparent. This effect can be seen most dramatically every autumn when the leaves of trees "turn color." http://www.reference.com/browse/Chlorophyll
Where in the leaf is chloroplasts found?
technically yes... they are found every where. There are cells inside the plant that are stacked on top of each other. Those cells are everywhere in the plant, including the leaves and stem. The cells contain the chloroplasts so technically yes they are located in the leaf, but are also located throughout the plant.
