Chloroplasts

Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs sunlight. This energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose through the process of photosynthesis. The glucose produced serves as a source of energy for the plant to carry out its cellular processes.

Without chloroplasts, plants would not be able to perform photosynthesis, leading to a lack of oxygen production and organic compounds for energy. This would disrupt the food chain and eventually lead to a collapse of ecosystems reliant on plants. Additionally, herbivores would struggle to find food, impacting their survival and that of carnivores higher up the food chain.

The pigments in chloroplasts, there are different colored chloroplasts depending on what type and color the plant is, absorb different types of light. Plants need the light for photosynthesis to occur, for the plant to live.

Leaf cells would have the most chloroplasts, as they are the primary location for photosynthesis in plants. Chloroplasts are responsible for converting light energy into chemical energy, and leaves are optimized for capturing sunlight for this process.

Yes, ferns are of the kingdom Plantae, which all are Eukaryotes. Meaning multicellular and containing organelles and nucleus

No, chloroplasts are responsible for converting light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis, not breaking down glucose for energy. Mitochondria are the organelles in cells responsible for breaking down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP.

Photosynthesis. In this process, green organisms, such as plants, algae, and some bacteria, convert sunlight into chemical energy by producing sugars and oxygen. This energy is then used by the organism for growth and other metabolic processes.

Palisade mesophyll... because that is where the energy from the sun is trapped, therefore the plant needs to have many chloroplasts in order to capture the light energy.

The palisade cells are long and wide in order to increase the surface area of contact with the sun..

Light-absorbing substances in chloroplasts are called pigments. The main pigment responsible for absorbing light energy for photosynthesis is chlorophyll.

Chloroplasts are green,round,small, and have two membranes

The chloroplast is the organelle that enables photosynthesis. So, a cell with a chloroplast will be autotrophic, but not the chloroplast itself. A eukaryote is a type of cell with a nuclues, and other membrane bound organelles. So chloroplasts, eukaryotes, and autotrophs can't be related the way you asked in your question. I hope that helps!

Thylakoid membranes.

Yes, chloroplasts convert sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll molecules in the chloroplasts, which then convert this energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

A chemical that is not found in chloroplasts is hemoglobin, which is a protein found in red blood cells that is responsible for transporting oxygen in the bloodstream. Chloroplasts primarily contain chemicals involved in photosynthesis, such as chlorophyll and various enzymes.

Dehydration reactions involve the removal of a water molecule from two adjacent molecules. This process forms a covalent bond between the molecules, typically resulting in the formation of a larger molecule.

Bacteria are Monera. Chloroplasts belong to Protista. Bacteria Do not have chloroplast which prepare food and are parasites while chloroplasts have chloroplast and prepare their own food. Diatoms are chloroplasts

Yes, grinding up chloroplasts found in spinach leaves into a liquid solution would result in a green-colored solution. This is because chloroplasts contain the green pigment chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color.

The flat discs found in chloroplasts are called thylakoids. Thylakoids are membrane-bound compartments that contain chlorophyll and other pigments, where photosynthesis takes place. Multiple thylakoids stack on top of one another to form grana.

Yes, both mitochondria and chloroplasts have compartments where hydrogen ions are actively pumped across a membrane to create a proton gradient. In mitochondria, this occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane, while in chloroplasts, it happens across the thylakoid membrane. The proton gradient generated is used to drive ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria and photosynthesis in chloroplasts.

A plant cell. The presence of a cell wall and chloroplasts is a characteristic feature of plant cells. Cell walls provide structural support while chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis.

I'm not sure about chloroplasts, but with mitochondria evolutionary history has led biolgists to believe that the mitochondria now present in eukaryotic cells to have originated a couple billion years ago when a very basic eukaryotic cell injested (ate) a bacterial cell. Then, instead of digesting it for food, the bacterial cell just stayed inside and functioned with the eukaryotic cell. The evidence for this lies in the structure, genetic information (mitochondria have their own DNA and replicate separately) and proteins present. This is why it could be considered a cell (bacterial), because it, at one point in history, was an actual bacterial cell.

i think the above answer is a little misleading to the question. so my answer is mitochondria and chloroplast are not considered cells or bacteria. bacteria is a cell and mitochondria and chloroplasts can be found in cells (plant and animal cells, not bacteria cells).

Plant cells contain chloroplasts, which are membrane-bound organelles that carry out photosynthesis. This organelle is not found in animal cells.

The primary pigment found in chlorophyll is chlorophyll itself, specifically chlorophyll a. It is responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis in plants. Chlorophyll absorbs mostly blue and red wavelengths of light, reflecting green light, making plants appear green.

The process of photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide, energy and light.

The function of the chloroplast is to capture energy from light in order to photosynthesis (make food using light).

Inside a chlorplast are hundreds of light absorbing "buckets" called photsystems which capture and absorb light energy. The energy from the light colletively creates energy which goes on to be used in the stages of photsynthesis.
