The chloroplasts.
What else can I help you with?
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum do the chloroplasts use?
Chloroplasts primarily utilize the visible light spectrum for photosynthesis, specifically blue and red wavelengths. These wavelengths are absorbed by pigments such as chlorophyll, which converts light energy into chemical energy used for photosynthesis.
Why do marine organisms with shells remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
1. As part of the carbon cycle known as photosynthesis, plants and algae absorb carbon dioxide, light, and water to produce carbohydrate energy for themselves and oxygen as a waste product.
Where do plants store energy from the sun?
Plants perform a vital function for their own survival and as part of the ecosystem, and this is Photosynthesis. During this process, during which plants transform solar light into energy, the energy produced is stored in the leaves and part of the stems.
Which region of the visible spectrum is not absorbed well by chlorophyll?
Green light is not absorbed well by chlorophyll, which is why plants appear green to our eyes. This is because chlorophyll absorbs more efficiently in the blue and red regions of the visible spectrum.
What is a photosystem?
A photosystem is a cluster of pigments and proteins in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts, involved in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. It captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy, which is used to drive the production of ATP and NADPH.
Do sunflowers absorb light?
Yes, all plants do; it's a required part of photosynthesis.
Do plants absorb or reflect green light?
YES. Plants absorb AND reflect green light. Leaves are green due to a compound called chlorophyll. The light absorbed by chlorophyll is used to power photosynthesis, the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. On a relative basis, chlorophyll absorbs more blue and red light, compared to green light; and therefore reflects less red and blue light. As a result, there is more green light than red or blue light reflected, so the chlorophyll containing part of the plant appears green. It is commonly thought that chlorophyll does not absorb green light, but that is a fallacy. A dark green leaf can absorb 90% of the green light impinging on it. In contrast, 95% of the red and blue light may be absorbed.
Why do molecules absorb light?
Molecules absorb light because of what light does to their electrons. It can cause a molecule's electrons to become excited and then changes from a full shell to an anti-bonding shell depending on how much light is absorbed.
Do plants give off heat as part of their natural processes?
No, plants do not give off heat as part of their natural processes. They primarily absorb sunlight for energy through photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct.
Do plants absorb carbon monoxide as part of their natural process?
No, plants do not absorb carbon monoxide as part of their natural process. They primarily absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that can be harmful to plants and animals.
What is a part of a solar panel that absorbs light and converts it into electrical energy?
The photovoltaic (PV) cells are the part of a solar panel that absorb light energy and convert it into electrical energy through the photoelectric effect. These cells are typically made of silicon and produce an electric current when exposed to sunlight.
Do plants absorb carbon dioxide as part of their natural process?
Yes, plants absorb carbon dioxide as part of their natural process through a process called photosynthesis.
Do plants absorb oxygen as part of their process of photosynthesis?
No, plants do not absorb oxygen as part of photosynthesis. Instead, they take in carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen as a byproduct.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum do the chloroplasts use?
Chloroplasts primarily utilize the visible light spectrum for photosynthesis, specifically blue and red wavelengths. These wavelengths are absorbed by pigments such as chlorophyll, which converts light energy into chemical energy used for photosynthesis.
Why are Chlorophyll b and the carotenoids important as receptors of light energy?
These pigments are able to absorb more wavelengths of light (and thus more energy) than chlorophyllaalone can absorb. As part of light-harvesting complexes in photosystems, they broaden the range of light that can be used in the light reactions.
Why do marine organisms with shells remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
1. As part of the carbon cycle known as photosynthesis, plants and algae absorb carbon dioxide, light, and water to produce carbohydrate energy for themselves and oxygen as a waste product.
When light strikes electrons.do the electrons reflect the light back?
Not quite. Remember that electrons are part particles and part waves. Light is given off when an electron drops from one energy state to a lower one. In answer to a different question, and may be the one you ask, When light strikes a phosphor, the electrons in the phosphor absorb energy, and give it off some time later. This is Phosphorescence.
