Best Answer

Boiling chloroplasts prevents the DPIP from being reduced because the enzymes for photosynthesis are no longer present in the chloroplasts. DPIP is reduced from blue to colorless when light strikes the chloroplasts and the electrons are boosted to a higher energy level. Since photosynthesis cannot be performed by the denatured chloroplasts, the DPIP cannot be reduced.

DIP is an electron acceptor, replacing NADP that is in light reaction, therefore there are no reduction

What effect do boiling have on chlorplasts suspension?

Boiling chloroplasts will cause them to be denatured. Depending upon how long the chloroplasts are boiled for depends on how many of the chloroplasts are denatured. For example, chloroplasts that are boiled for a very short time might still have some working chloroplasts that are able to photosynthesize.


Which types of cell contain chloroplasts and are able to carry out photosynthesis?

What would happen if you did not have chloroplasts?

Well humans do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts only show up in plant cells as chloroplasts are for obtaining energy from sunlight through photosynthesis. No animal is able to do this as chloroplasts are not present in animal cells.


What is the chloroplasts' function in the cell?

The chloroplasts function in the cell is to collect light for photosynthesis. Without chloroplasts plant cells wound not be able to carry out photosynthesis.


If you could add chloroplasts to animal cells how would it change their behavior?

They would be able to photosynthesise, which they are currently unable to do because they do not possess chloroplasts.


Why is a plant cell able to perform photosynthesis?

Due to the presence of chloroplasts in it.


Can dough rise with boiled yeast?

Yeast will not be able to grow if it has been boiled. However, dough may still be able to rise with other raising agents, e.g. baking powder.


Could a plant live without chloroplasts?

The answer is no, because, in order for it to be considered a plant, it needs to make its own food and energy, and to do that, chloroplasts are needed. In addition to that, because the plants need energy, the chloroplasts take the energy from the sun, and that also leads to food making. In conclusion a plant would not be able to live without chloroplasts because it won't be able to perform photosynthesis.

How would animal be different if they had chloroplasts and cell wall?

Animal cells would be different if they had chloroplasts and cell walls because they would have a regular shape due to the cell wall. Be green in color and able to photosynthesize due to the chloroplasts.
