Electrons that chlorophyll loses to the electron transport chain are replenished by what molecules?
The electrons that chlorophyll loses to the electron transport chain are replenished by water molecules, which are split into oxygen, protons, and electrons during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
What does chlorophll mean?
Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants that is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. It absorbs light energy and uses it to create sugars from carbon dioxide and water.
What transport forms of sugars are commonly made by linking two together to form a disaccharide?
Common transport forms of sugars that are commonly made by linking two together to form a disaccharide include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).
What happens during light reactions?
During light reactions in photosynthesis, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. This energy is used to split water into oxygen, protons, and electrons. The electrons are then passed through a series of proteins in the electron transport chain, generating ATP and NADPH, which are used in the Calvin cycle to produce sugars.
Is the energy from sunlight trapped by chlorophyll located in the electron transport chain?
No, the energy trapped by chlorophyll is located in photosystem I and II. Light energy is first captured by PS II and an electron is then transferred to a primary electron acceptor known as plastoquinone. Pq then transfers it's electron to the cytochrome complex that transfers its energy to the electron transport system which passes it on to plastocyanin which in turn gives its electron to PS I where it is re-excited by photons. This process is known as the electron transport but the energy captured by chlorophyll is located in the photosystems.
What is the job of Chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll converts carbon dioxide into sugars with the help of sunlight.
What is A green pigment that captures light energy?
Chlorophyll is used by autotrophs to synthesize simple sugars through photosynthesis
Photosynthesis works how?
Photosynthesis can happen in plants because they have chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the pigment that makes plants green. Chlorophyll captures the Sun's energy and uses it to make sugars out of carbon dioxide from the air and water. The sugars fuel a plant's roots, stems, and leaves so the plant can grow.
Why plants have chloroplasts and chlorophyll?
it helps with photosynthesis and generates sugars from the air and light
Does chlorophyll needed for production of sugar?
Yes, chlorophyll is important in the production of sugars, mainly sucrose known as photosynthate, as it is the product of photosynthesis. There are several types of chlorophyll, chlorophyll 'a' being the most important, as it is the molecule which makes photosynthesis possible. It passes on its energized electrons (excited to a new energy level by solar energy) to other molecules, which will manufacture sugars.
What do plants need in the process of photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll Further answer Chlorophyll enables photosynthesis to happen and the plant needs carbon dioxide to convert to sugars in the process.
Why do leaves transport tissue?
They don't - they transport substances. (Water and CO2 in, sugars and O2 out)
What are two sugars that can be absorbed by active transport?
Two sugars that can be absorbed by active transport are glucose and galactose. These sugars are actively transported across the intestinal epithelium lining for absorption into the bloodstream.
How does chloraphyll help the plants?
Chlorophyll is part of the photosynthetic process which converts carbon dioxide into sugars using sunlight. Chlorophyll is generally the part that absorbs sunlight.
What does chlorophyll allow a plant cell to do that an animal cannot?
produce glucose (sugars) through photosynthesis
What green molecule that enables plants to turn water carbon dioxide and sunlight into sugars?
Chlorophyll
What structure in vascular plants transport sugar?
Phloem transport sugars, Xylem transports water
