No, yet it is a crucial and complex Part of the Factory that processes the raw materials.

While Chlorophyll is required for photosynthesis, it is not used up in the process of photosynthesis and none of its parts are used in the chemical reactions of photosynthesis. Only the energy it absorbs from the Sun is used in photosynthesis.

When compare to the process of oxidation with the process of photosynthesis what do you notice?

The waste products of one are needed materials for the other.


Why is chlorophyll not in photosynthesis chemical equation?

it is mentioned. cloroplasts is the one that's not mentioned in the chemical equeation for photosynthesis


What two named features enable the leaf to carry out photosynthesis?

Chloroplasts and stomata are two named features that enable the leaf to carry out photosynthesis. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, the pigment that captures sunlight energy for the process, while stomata are small openings that allow for gas exchange necessary for photosynthesis.


What photosynthetic pigment is essential for the process of photosynthesis to occur?

One or more of these known pigments is required to capture the energy of light and drive photosynthesis: Chlorophyll, Xanthophyll, Carotene, Phaeophytin, Phycobilin, Bacteriochlorophyll or Bacteriorhodopsin.


Why do plants only need a small amount of magnesium for growth?

Magnesium is needed by plants to make the green pigment chlorophyll and to activate some enzymes. Although there may appear to be a lot of chlorophyll in plants, each chlorophyll molecule only contains one magnesium atom. The molecular weight of chlorophyll (in fact, chlorophyll a) is 893.5. The atomic weight of magnesium is 24.3. So magnesium only makes up about 2.7% of the weight of the chlorophyll. Enzymes are catalysts and are only needed in small amounts to catalyse reactions, as they are used over and over again, so only small amounts of magnesium are needed. http://www.efma.org/introduction/section01.asp

What green substance is required during photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll is the green substance required during photosynthesis. It is a pigment found in the chloroplasts of plant cells that absorbs light energy from the sun to drive the process of photosynthesis.


What is one of two materials converted into carbohydrates by photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere and water from the soil solution are two raw materials obtained from the atmosphere for photosynthesis. In addition, light energy from a source such as the sun (sunlight) and presence of chlorophyll pigment in the plant are required.

What 3 things do plants need to photosynthesise?

THE THREE ESENTIAL THINGS NEEDED BY PLANTS FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS ARE SUNLIGHT, CHLOROPHYLL AND CARBON DIOXIDE. IF ONE OF THE THREE FACTORS IS ABSENT PHOTOSYNTHESIS CANNOT TAKE PLACE(it is also known as black mans principle).


What major2and accessory4pigments are necessary for photosynthesis to be carried out?

The two major pigments necessary for photosynthesis are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. A key accessory pigment is carotenoids, which help to broaden the range of light wavelengths that can be used for photosynthesis.


What organisms have chlorophyll?

Organisms that have chlorophyll include plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Chlorophyll is a pigment that enables these organisms to carry out photosynthesis, the process by which they convert sunlight into energy.
