Why chlorophyll acts as a catalyst in photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll is NOT really a catalyst. The presence of chlorophyll in the absence of light does not catalyze photosynthesis. Chlorophyll plays a part in photosynthesis, it captures light energy.


What cell part is required for photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll or chloroplasts. They are the same thing.


What part of cells holds chlorophyll?

Chlorophyll is found within organelles within the cell called chloroplasts.

Part of the plant that is primaly used for photosynthesis?

The green pigment, chlorophyll, in the leaves of the plant are generally used for photosynthesis.


Which is not a product of photosynthesis?

chlorophyll does not enter the plant, sunlight does.


What cell part contains chlorophill?

chloroplast is the organelle that contains the chlorophyll. chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis which allows the plant or other eukaryote cell the performs photosynthesis to obtain energy from the sun.


Why is chloroplast not common in the root and stem part of a plant?

Because chorophyll is the pigment responsible for photosynthesis, which requires light to function, so there is no chlorophyll in the roots, and only a small amount in the stem.


What role does chlorphyll play in photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll's role in photosynthesis is to convert the light energy from the sun to chemical energy. When enough energy strikes chlorophyll, it looses its electrons and thus they are able to move through a transport chain. Their energy is stored in NADPH which is then transferred to glucose.


Part of plant that help make food?

Photosynthesis is what plants use to make food, and in photosynthesis sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll. The chlorophyll is a green pigment that is inside the structure known as the chloroplast.


What process requires chlorophyll?

Photosynthesis is the process that uses chlorophyll. But the magic part of this reaction is the splitting of the water molecule to give the plant hydrogen with which it may build complex molecules, and the discharge of the oxygen as a waste gas. Chlorophyll is not the only chemical used for photosynthesis. The seaweeds, red, brown, (and green (?)), may use different chemicals. Possibly some lichens use a different chemical as well - (?).


What part of a plant can do photosynthesis?

mainly leaves, though any part which has chlorophyll does
