Chloroplasts

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

What is the primary pigment foundin the chloropast?

The pigment found in chloroplasts is "chlorophyll" and it is green.

A plant cell has a thick cell wall and large vacuoles however it does not seem to have chloroplasts what part of the plant might this cell be from?

In a plant chloroplasts are mainly found in the cells of leaves and stems so , I think in the rest of the parts there may not be any chloroplasts

What is the relationship between chloroplast and chlorophy ll?

Chlorophyll conduct the process photosynthesis.They are contained in chloroplasts.

Where in the chloroplast are the enzymes that catalyze the Calvin cycle found?

The Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. Carbon dioxide enters the stroma of the chloroplast to combine with the five-carbon compound called ribulose1, 5-Biphosphate to form two molecules of a three-carbon compound called 3-Phosphoglyceric acid. This reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme called Ribulose bi-phosphate Carboxylase.

Why do onion cells do not have chloroplast?

Onion cells do not have chloroplasts because the onion is underground where there is no light. Without light chloroplasts have no purpose, so onion cells just don't have them.

Explain Why plants have mitochondria even though they include chloroplasts?

Because they have seperate functions.Chloroplast engage in photosynthesis while mitochondria engage in respiration.

Are there some enzymes in chloroplast?

Yes,there are enzymes.They drive the photosynthesis.

What part of the plant could be considered the highway for getting water and nutrients to the leaves?

Plants absorb nutrients and water through their roots, but photosynthesis - the process by which plants create their fuel - occurs in the leaves. Therefore, plants need to get fluids and nutrients from the ground up through their stems to their parts that are above ground level.

Just as animals, plants also contain vascular tissues (xylem), which transports water and minerals up from the roots to the leaves, and phloem, which transports sugar molecules, amino acids, and hormones both up and down through the plant.

The leaves of plants also contain veins, through which nutrients and hormones travel to reach the cells throughout the leaf. Veins are easy to see some leaves (a maple tree, for instance). In some plants the veins are hard to see, but they're in there.

Sap is the mix of water and minerals that move through the xylem. Carbohydrates move through the phloem. There are several different "modes of transportation" through the xylem and phloem; their main function is to keep all cells of the plant hydrated and nourished.

Inside the cells of the root, there is a higher concentration of minerals than there is in the soil surrounding the plant. This creates root pressure, which forces water up out of the root through the xylem as more water and minerals are "pulled" into the root from the soil. This force results inguttation, which is the formation of tiny droplets on the ends of leaves or grass early in the morning.

The reason the droplets are seen in the morning is because transpiration - the loss of water from leaves - doesn't occur at night, so the pressure builds until morning. Those droplets are not just water, they're sap. And, those sap droplets are proof that water and minerals get pulled up from the soil and transported through the entire plant.

Guttation may work well for small plants, but gravity works against the upward movement through larger plants, so more active processes are involved.

What part of a house is like chloroplast?

Chloroplast make food for plant. So it can be compared to a kitchen

What Cells do not contain chloroplasts i?

except plants and protists. Other cells are not having.

Do green leaves have the same pigments?

Of course,every plants have same pigments.Main pigments are chlorophylls.

Do chloroplasts contain a lot of muscle cells?

Muscles are in animals. Chloroplasts are never found in animals.

What does chloroplasts absorb from?

Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant. Chloroplasts capture light energy from the sun to produce the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH through a process called photosynthesis.

What are the phylums of the kingdom Plantae?

There are three major phylum in the Kingdom Plantae. These include ukaryotic, multicellular, and photosynthetic plants.

What part of the onion would have chloroplast?

All plant cells contain chloroplasts, the amount present depends on the function of the cell. for example leaves will contain loads of chloroplast, hence why they are green.

The cells of an onion will still contain chloroplasts but only a few in comparison to the amount in a cell situated in the leaf. This is because onions are underground and aren't the primary site for photosynthesis.

What is bigger an elephant heart or a chloroplast?

An elephant's heart, obviously. A cholorplast is part of a plant cell that helps in the photosynthesis process.
