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.

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.

What reasons can you give for the difference in the percentage of transmittance between the live chlorplats that were incubated in the light and those that were kept in the dark?

The percent transmittance grew to steadily higher numbers as the experiment progressed because the light reaction was able to occur. However, the dark cuvettes had stable levels of transmittance because light is necessary to excite electrons, which, in turn, reduces the DPIP.


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.


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.


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.


What would happen to a plant if its chloroplasts stopped working?

Chloroplasts are doing photosynthesis. They will die if chloroplasts are not working.


Why is a plant cell able to perform photosynthesis?

Due to the presence of chloroplasts in it.


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.

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.


What time of day are chloroplasts able to carry out photosynthesis?
