Chloroplasts

Yes, Chlorophyll pressure does help support plants.

They are in thylakoid membranes.They are stored inside

There are two wave lengths that are absorbed well. Red and blue colors are the best.

They are photosynthetic cells. But only in eukariyotic cells

Absolutely nothing. Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells and collect and store energy and nutrients for the cell. They also have something called chlorophyll in them witch turns the plant green.

Yes, chlorophyll in dark green leafy vegetables can mask the presence of beta-carotene to some extent due to their similar green color. This can affect the perception of the amount of beta-carotene present in the vegetable, leading to potential underestimation. However, both chlorophyll and beta-carotene provide distinct health benefits regardless of their visibility.

They synthesize glucose using solar energy. Glucose is neeeded for respiration

Its function is to carry photosynthesis.It produces food for plant.

First of all, chlorophyll is NOT an enzyme. Enzymes are proteins. Chlorophyll is not a protein nor is it constructed of amino acids. It is a pigment and has a pretty simple structure compared to proteins. It's fairly easy to find it's structure in college textbooks or on the internet.

Functionally, some people think it is like an enzyme because they think it is a catalyst. Working in concert with other substances including true enzymes and other proteins, the combination could be considered a catalyst for a specific step in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is able to absorb photons of light energy and pass that energy along in the form of a high energy electron. In the process, it also works with other substances in the chloroplast (specifically in the thylakoid membrane) to break water apart to make O2 (oxygen gas) and H+ ions. This is the only step in the longer process of photosynthesis that involves chlorophyll.

To say chlorophyll alone is a catalyst is wrong. To say it catalyzes photosynthesis is a gross oversimplification of a complex process whose details are well known.

Carbohydrate production in a chloroplast primarily occurs in the stroma, the fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoid membranes. This process takes place during the Calvin cycle, where carbon dioxide is fixed and converted into glucose and other carbohydrates using ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions. The stroma contains the necessary enzymes and substrates for this synthesis.

Chloroplasts utilize active transport to move hydrogen ions against their concentration gradient. This process relies on energy, typically derived from ATP, to pump protons into the thylakoid lumen during photosynthesis. The resulting gradient of hydrogen ions is then used to drive ATP synthesis through chemiosmosis, ultimately supporting the production of energy-rich molecules.

A group of daffodil flowers is called a bunch or a cluster.

Chloroplasts are crucial to Euglena because they enable the organism to perform photosynthesis, allowing it to convert sunlight into energy. This process not only provides nourishment but also supports Euglena’s survival in various environments, including those with limited food sources. Additionally, the presence of chloroplasts gives Euglena its green color and contributes to its role as a primary producer in aquatic ecosystems.

In a leaf, the cells that contain chloroplasts are primarily the mesophyll cells, which are divided into palisade and spongy mesophyll. The palisade mesophyll, located beneath the upper epidermis, contains tightly packed chloroplasts for efficient photosynthesis. In contrast, the epidermal cells, which form the outer layer of the leaf, typically do not contain chloroplasts and serve to protect the leaf and minimize water loss.

The part of a green plant that shows the greatest increase in chloroplasts is typically the leaves, particularly in the mesophyll cells. This is where photosynthesis primarily occurs, requiring a high concentration of chloroplasts to capture sunlight and convert it into energy. During periods of rapid growth or in optimal light conditions, the number of chloroplasts can significantly increase to enhance the plant's photosynthetic capacity.

The two primary products that leave the chloroplast during photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen. Glucose serves as an energy source for the plant and can be used for growth, while oxygen is released as a byproduct into the atmosphere, contributing to the oxygen supply for other organisms.

Stroma and lamellae serve distinct functions within chloroplasts. The stroma is the fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids, where the Calvin cycle occurs, facilitating the synthesis of glucose from carbon dioxide and water. In contrast, lamellae are the membrane structures that connect thylakoids, playing a role in the organization of the thylakoid membranes and enhancing the efficiency of light absorption and electron transport during photosynthesis. Thus, stroma is involved in carbon fixation, while lamellae contribute to light harvesting and energy transfer.

To determine if a cell contains chloroplasts, you can look for specific indicators such as the presence of green pigments (chlorophyll) under a microscope, which is characteristic of chloroplasts. Additionally, chloroplasts are typically found in plant cells and some algae, so identifying the cell type can provide clues. Staining techniques, such as using iodine or specific fluorescent dyes, can also help visualize chloroplasts. Lastly, the cell's role in photosynthesis is a strong indicator, as chloroplasts are essential for this process.

The development of chloroplasts is significant in the theory of symbiosis because it illustrates how a symbiotic relationship between an ancestral eukaryotic cell and a photosynthetic prokaryote (likely a cyanobacterium) led to the evolution of complex plant cells. This endosymbiotic event allowed for the acquisition of photosynthesis, enabling plants to convert sunlight into energy and produce oxygen as a byproduct. Consequently, chloroplasts became essential for the development of higher plant life and contributed to the establishment of oxygen-rich atmospheres on Earth, profoundly impacting the evolution of other life forms.

The flattened membranes in chloroplasts are called thylakoids. These structures are organized into stacks known as grana, and they play a crucial role in the photosynthetic process by hosting the light-dependent reactions. Thylakoids contain chlorophyll and other pigments that capture light energy, which is then converted into chemical energy.
