Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis, which allows plants to obtain energy from light.
Chlorophyll molecules are specifically arranged in and around pigment protein complexes called photosystems which are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. In these complexes, chlorophyll serves two primary functions. The function of the vast majority of chlorophyll up to several hundred molecules per photosystem is to absorb light and transfer that light energy by resonance energy transfer to a specific chlorophyll pair in the reaction center of the photosystems. Because of chlorophyll's selectivity regarding the wavelength of light it absorbs, areas of a leaf containing the molecule will appear green
What else can I help you with?
Where does photosynthesis occur within cells?
The sunlight/energy is collected by chloroplasts.
Where do the different stages of photosynthesis occur in the cell?
The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, while the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma of chloroplasts.
Where does each phase of photosynthesis occur in?
The Chloroplast or Chlorophyl of the plant.
Do Only organisms with chloroplasts are capable of photosynthesis.?
No, not only organisms with chloroplasts can perform photosynthesis. While chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis in plants and some algae, other organisms, such as certain bacteria (like cyanobacteria), can also carry out photosynthesis without chloroplasts. These bacteria use different structures, such as thylakoids, to capture light energy. Thus, photosynthesis can occur in a variety of organisms, not exclusively those with chloroplasts.
Where does light dependent occur in the chloroplast?
Light- independent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts of a cell.
Does photosynthesis occur in the chloroplasts?
Yes - photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts.
Were in the cell does photosynthesis occur?
in the chloroplasts
Were does photosynthesis generally occur?
in the chloroplasts
Where does the photosynthesis occur?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of a plant cell.
What process occur in the chloroplasts of the plant?
photosynthesis
Where does photosynthesis occur in plants and animals?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells and does not occur in animals.
Where does photosynthesis occur within cells?
The sunlight/energy is collected by chloroplasts.
Where does photosynthesis occur in the cell?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Specifically, the light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes within the chloroplasts, while the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts.
Where does the raw materials in photosynthesis occur in plant?
in the chloroplasts
What cell organelles does photosynthesis occur?
Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts. The chloroplasts contains the pigment called chlorophyll where it receives sunlight.
Where in leaves does photosynthesis occur?
In leaves, photosynthesis occurs usually in chloroplasts of mesophyll cells.
Where do the different stages of photosynthesis occur in the cell?
The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, while the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma of chloroplasts.
