The principal organs in which plants carry out photosynthesis are leaves true or false?
True. Leaves are the primary organs where photosynthesis takes place in plants. They contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
Is it true photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells?
Yes, photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, the pigment that captures sunlight and converts it into energy through the process of photosynthesis. This process involves the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight as the energy source.
Is it true that the pigments in chloroplasts are arranged in clusters known as chlorogroups?
There is no specific term "chlorogroups" used to refer to pigment clusters in chloroplasts. Pigments in chloroplasts are arranged in groups called photosystems, with chlorophyll being the main pigment involved in photosynthesis.
The chlorophyll of the green algae is in chloroplasts True or False The chlorophyll of the green algae is in chloroplasts. True or False?
True. Chlorophyll in green algae is located within specialized structures called chloroplasts. These chloroplasts are responsible for carrying out photosynthesis in green algae, where chlorophyll captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy for the organism.
Does plants with non green leaves do not carry out photosynthesis?
True plants (as opposed to fungus) have chlorophyll in their leaves. They carry out photosynthesis like any other plant, but other chemicals in the leaves mask the chlorophyll, giving the leaf a non-green hue.There is also a species of parasitic dodder (Cuscuta europaea) which does not photosynthesize, and depends on other plants for nutrition.

Is it true that animal cells derive their energy from chlorophyll?
Animal cells do not obtain their energy directly from chlorophyll. However, chlorophyll is vital for the survival of animals. Chlorophyll is the pigment contained in chloroplasts, which are the organelles in plants responsible for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis involves converting energy into a form that animals can use (glucose). This glucose is then broken down in the animal cell for energy. Therefore chlorophyll is indirectly responsible for producing the energy for animal cells.

When can seedling start to make food?
Seedlings can start making their own food through photosynthesis once they have developed their first true leaves, which typically happens a few days to a couple of weeks after germination. These leaves have chlorophyll, the pigment needed for photosynthesis to occur.
What is a true statement about chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants, algae, and some bacteria, playing a crucial role in photosynthesis by absorbing light, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths. It helps convert light energy into chemical energy, enabling plants to produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. There are several types of chlorophyll, with chlorophyll a and b being the most common in higher plants. Additionally, the presence of chlorophyll gives plants their characteristic green color.
What is a chlorophyll and enzymes?
First of all, chlorophyll is NOT an enzyme. Enzymes are proteins. Chlorophyll is not a protein nor is it constructed of amino acids. It is a pigment and has a pretty simple structure compared to proteins. It's fairly easy to find it's structure in college textbooks or on the internet. Functionally, some people think it is like an enzyme because they think it is a catalyst. Working in concert with other substances including true enzymes and other proteins, the combination could be considered a catalyst for a specific step in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is able to absorb photons of light energy and pass that energy along in the form of a high energy electron. In the process, it also works with other substances in the chloroplast (specifically in the thylakoid membrane) to break water apart to make O2 (oxygen gas) and H+ ions. This is the only step in the longer process of photosynthesis that involves chlorophyll. To say chlorophyll alone is a catalyst is wrong. To say it catalyzes photosynthesis is a gross oversimplification of a complex process whose details are well known.
True or false When light hits a plant all of the wavelengths of light are absorbed by chlorophyll?
No. There are only certain wavelengths of light that plants can use for photosynthesis.Plants have trouble using green light because it is reflected by the chlorophyll pigment (that is why leaves look green).
Do plants having non green leaves have chlorophyll and do they carry out photosynthesis?
True plants (as opposed to fungus) have chlorophyll in their leaves. They carry out photosynthesis like any other plant, but other chemicals in the leaves mask the chlorophyll, giving the leaf a non-green hue.There is also a species of parasitic dodder (Cuscuta europaea) which does not photosynthesize, and depends on other plants for nutrition.
True or false photosynthesis is a process that takes place in autotrophs?
True. Photosynthesis is a process that occurs in autotrophs, such as plants, algae, and some bacteria. It involves the conversion of sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen, using chlorophyll in chloroplasts.
