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.
Where in the chloroplast do the sunlight reactions occurs?
Light reaction is taking place on thylakoids.Dark reaction take place in stroma.
Does the xylem have a lot of chloroplasts?
Xylem composed of dead cells in high percent.So it does not have much chloroplasts.
Where are chlorophyll and chloroplasts found?
These are found in the green leaves of plants. Chloroplasts are organelles inside each cell of a leaf which capture light energy, and use it in conjunction with the chemical chlorophyll to store this energy in the molecules ATP and ADPH.
This process is called Photosynthesis, and is how plants make their energy. It produces organic molecules and oxygen from Carbon Dioxide and water; the plants give out oxygen as a by-product.
How does food get from the mouth to the stomach?
It is chewed and mixed with saliva, then swallowed into the esophagus and called a bolus. Then muscle contractions called peristaltic action propel it down. When it gets to the cardioesophageal sphincter, it opens up and allows the bolus (food and saliva mixture) to enter the stomach.
Why do chloroplasts have folded membranes?
They don't, they have sacs called thylakoids that are layered to form a granum.
You're probably talking about mitochondria, which has a folded inner membrane. The membranes are folded here for increased surface area. This then allows for more ATP to be produced.
They are all enclosed by a membrane.
Where do light reactions happen in the chloroplasts?
It take place on thylakoid membranes.It is the first step.
What are the flattened membranes chroloplasts called?
They are called granna. Membranes are called thylakoid.
What would happen if the chloroplast was not present in plant cells?
Plant cell would be dead. It is the process which give fuel for respiration
Which substance is a green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs energy for photostems?
They are the chlorophyll. The major photosynthesis pigment
What is the chloroplast is it the green part of a plant that uses the energy from the sunlight?
Yes, a chloroplast is a structure within a plant cell that contains chlorophyll, giving it a green color. Chloroplasts are responsible for converting sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis.
What part of the plant is taken to obtain cinnamon oil?
It is extracted from the bark of Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum, synonym C. zeylanicum) is a small tree of the family Lauraceae.
Why can the plant cell not use the ATP produced in chloroplasts?
They are used to make glucose. Mitochondria is used for that
What would happen to the Chloroplast and organism if the organelle failed?
If it is a autotroph , no food will be produced either energy. It will die eventually
Do some bacteria have chlorophyll in chloroplasts so they can conduct photosynthesis.?
No, bacteria generally do not have chloroplasts to begin with. Photosynthetic bacteria contain bacteriochlorophyll, which is similar to the chlorophyll found in plant cells that allow photosynthesis to take place. One distinct phylum of photosynthetic bacteria, known as cyanobacteria, are thought to be the ancestor organisms that eventually evolved into the chloroplasts that are found in modern plants.
How many chloroplasts are in a plant cell?
40 to 50 per cell. The last person was kinda off,lol =P
-I'm working on this right now in my bio class =) like literally =P
Where does glucose go next after it is made in the chloroplast?
Glucose is stored as starch.Turned into sucrose and transported.
What part of a green plant shows the greatest increase in chloroplasts by the end of the spring?
Leaf
What is the surface region of an enzyme into which substrate molecule fits?
That is the active site. Substrate binds to it
What could chloroplast be compared to in a restaurant?
Chloroplasts could be compared to the kitchen in a restaurant, where food is prepared and energy (food) is produced for the restaurant. Just like chloroplasts convert sunlight into energy for plants, the kitchen prepares food for customers.
