Chloroplasts

Chloroplasts are a part of a plant's cell. They capture energy from light.

What household object represents chloroplast?

They may be hard to find, but solar panels are the equivalent of chloroplasts. They make energy out of sunlight, and they're mostly green.

What reaction takes places in the thylakoid disc of the chloroplast?

Light reaction takes place. The first step of photosynthesis

Do fungus have chloroplast or not?

No. Chloroplasts are only present in plants and some protists. Chloroplasts make plants autotrophic by allowing producing their own food, whereas fungi are heterotrophic, where they release enzymes to break down nutrients from the environment and absorb that broken down food. No

Do chloroplasts store energy?

Yes, chloroplasts do store energy. If you want more info, the following website may help: http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell_chloroplast.html

What form of energy is absorbed my the chloroplast?

Chlorophyll absorbs certain wave lengths of light in the transference of heat driving the plants osmosis and cell building activities.

Why do some cells not have chloroplasts?

There can be differing reason why a cell might not have a nucleus depending on the type of the cell.

  • Certain eukaryotic cells such as red blood cells are made from a pluripotency in the red bone marrow, and are designed to not contain nucleus. Consequently, the red blood cells cannot undergo mitosis or cytokinesis, and lasts for about 100 to 120 days. During these days, the cell is fully devoted to transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide to the rest of the body.
  • Bacterial cells naturally do not contain nucleus, nor any membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes are simpler than eukaryotic cells and their genes are contained within the nucleoid region.

What reaction takes place in the stroma in a chloroplast?

these various structure in the chloroplast organize the complex series of chemical reactions

What is the green substance inside of the chloroplast?

yes it does!!That is the reason for their color.They capture light energy.

What is tissue packed with chloroplasts?

The stomata in the epidermis allow oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapour to enter and leave the leaf. The guard cells also contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis.

Does moss adapt?

Mosses adapt to environments, exhibiting variations. Although many mosses live in temperate zones, they also have been found living in tundra. Mosses can grow on rocks, mountains, and brick and cement structures. They are frequently found on tombstones and other memorials.

What do the lamellae do for the chloroplasts?

Lamellae are thin membrane structures within chloroplasts that connect thylakoids, which are the sites of photosynthesis. They help organize the thylakoids into stacks called grana, increasing the surface area for light absorption and facilitating efficient energy transfer during the photosynthetic process. Additionally, lamellae play a role in maintaining the structural integrity of the chloroplast and optimizing the arrangement of the photosynthetic pigments.

What is the role of chorophyll inside chloroplasts?

Chlorophyll gives plants their chosen pigment, based upon their DNA. It is found in every plant, even ones with red or yellow pigment. Chlorophyll's green pigment is still existent in yellow and red plants, it is just hidden by its predominant colors.

What is inside plant extracts?

A fruit extract is a concentrated flavoring made by steeping the fruit in a carrier. Most fruit extract are made similarly to pure vanilla extract, by leaving crushed fruits in a carrier alcohol (usually vodka or brandy) for a period of days, weeks or months. When finished, the alcohol will contain the concentrated flavor of the fruit and can be used in small amounts for baking or cooking.

What are the two main functions in chloroplasts?

The main functions of chloroplast are to produce food (glucose) during photosynthesis,And to store food energy.

What is the process that takes place in a chloroplast and the mitochondrion?

Dark reaction take place in stroma.Light reaction take place in thylakoid membranes.

What contains chlorophyll green pigment that traps energy from the sunlight?

Chloroplast in a plant cell can convert light energy into chemical energy that is required in plant cells.

What is the reason for increased surface area in chloroplasts?

The stroma is an area inside the chloroplast with a thylakoid stack. The stacks are connected by the stroma lamellae and maximize the efficiency of the chloroplasts.

What does the mitochondria and the chloroplast both do for the cell?

Respiration is conducted by mitochondria.Photosynthesis is conducted by chloroplast.

Which part of a plant would you expect to find the most chloroplast and why?

The leaf because it is the major structure for photosynthesis in a plant.

Why the chloroplasts is not present in the onion cell?

You can't see chloroplasts in an onion skin cell since the onion was underground. When the onion is underground, the sun can't reach the onion so the onion skin cells can't make glucose. The onion does have chloroplasts in its cells at the top of the onion. That's where he sunlight can reach the onion.

What are chloroplasts and where are they found?

Inside of a plants leaf. Quote, "Chloroplasts are found mainly in the leaves, this is because they are used in photosynthesis to produce food for the plant. The reason they are in the leaves is because the leaves have a large surface area which helps absorb more sunlight than any other part of the plant and sunlight is required for photosynthesis."
