What part of the plant absorbs sunlight?
The leaves absorb sunlight and change it into energy.
How do light and sound transfer from one place to another?
Both light and sound inhabit frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum. Additionally, both move as waves (think waves on a beach), and light moves also as a particle. As waves, both transmit radiant energy, that with a sufficient medium (gas or liquid for sound--light only requires clear transmission lines) allow the energy to move from transmission site to reception site. Light, moving as a particle also transfers kinetic energy--a minute amount, but enough to actually move very large objects given lack of resistance (think solar sail). So, let's review: sound and light move as waves. Light moves also as a particle (wavicle). Both transfer radiant energy generally by exciting molecules. Light also transfers kinetic energy via the collision of photons (that particle) with other matter.
How is sunlight converted into potential energy by plants?
Photosynthesis
What are the site of ATP production and the site of photosynthesis?
In plant leaves, chloroplasts make the green pigment chlorophyll. This is the substance that can extract energy from sunlight. Plants use the energy to create glucose and oxygen from the raw materials carbon dioxide and water. In plant leaves, this takes place in a layer called the mesophyll.
What are the characteristics of the chloroplasts?
Contain green pigments call CHLOROPHYLL.Site of photosynthesis: create glucose (chemical energy) using light energy.STRUCTURE OF:Outer and inner membranes: protective coverings that keep chloroplast structures enclosed.Stroma: dense fluid within the chloroplast. Site of conversion of carbon dioxide to sugar.Thylakoid: flattened sac-like membrane structures. Site of conversion of light energy to chemical energy.Grana: dense layered stacks of thylakoid sacs. Site of conversion of light energy to chemical energy.Chlorophyll: a green pigment found in thylakoids. Absorbs light energy.
Both sound and light transfer energy in this way?
Both sound and light travel in wave but they do not transfer energy in the same way. Sound travels through a medium but light does not. Sound energy comes from the vibration of the medium's particles eg when we hear a noise it is the vibration of the air particles that in turn vibrate our ear drum that transfers the information to our brain. Sound can travel through water or steel but not through a vacuum. Light does not need a medium in which to travel. It is a form of electromagnetic radiation. The energy comes from the frequency of the radiation. pucktana new zealand
Can you find me the best site for leaves?
No!
Plastids that use light energy for making food?
Plastids are organelles that are found in the plant cell . Plastids act as the site for manufacture and storage of various compounds. They consist of the photosynthetic pigments which use light energy to make food molecules.
What organelle in the plant cell can take light energy and convert it to food?
The chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis - which creates glucose with the aid of sunlight.
What is the function of the Thylakoid?
A thylakoid is a membrane compartment that is bound inside the chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. It is the site of the light-dependent reactions for the process of photosynthesis
Choosing a Reception Site?
Come up with a list of over-the-phone questions to ask about each of your potential wedding reception sites. You'll quickly rule out places that are too small, too expensive, etc.
Where does the energy for the light independent reactions of photosynthesis come from?
splitting of water molecules
