Chloroplasts
Chloroplasts are a part of a plant's cell. They capture energy from light.
1,379 Questions
How are a chloroplast a mitochondrion and a nucleus similar?
All contain DNA in them.They replicate themselves during cell division.
Does chloroplast supply energy to eukaryotic cell?
Indirectly,the answer is yes.It capture energy from sunlight.This energy is used in plant.
Do all plants have secondary cells?
Do the stems of a soft-stemmed plants have chloroplast How about woody plants?
Soft stem are green and have chloroplasts.Woody stems do not have.
What organelle other than chloroplasts are found in grass cells?
Most grass cells are the same as any other plant cell, so if you know what's in a plant cell, then a grass cell is basically the same thing. Anything in the protein production line, mitochondria, and the cell transport/cleanup crew are all found.
Do chloroplast have glycogen granules?
No, they do not. Only animal cells have glycogen granule to store energy.
Are chloroplast the power generator for life on earth?
Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis, which is the process that converts sunlight into energy (in the form of glucose) that plants use to survive. So while chloroplasts play a crucial role in generating energy for plants, they are not the sole power generator for life on Earth as there are other forms of energy production in different organisms.
Chloroplasts do not primarily store lipids. They are responsible for carrying out photosynthesis, where they convert light energy into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose. Lipid storage typically occurs in organelles like the cytoplasm or lipid droplets within the cell.
What is the semiliquid substance inside chloroplast?
Chloroplasts contain membranes called thylakoids.
Thylakoids are flattened and arranged in stacks called grana.
The space between the grana is called the stroma.
Chlorophyll is the green substance in the thylakoids which gathers light for photosynthesis.
WHY do cells do photosynthesis?
Plants need Carbon for living.Photosynthesis gives carbon for plants.
Why is an isotonic buffered extraction medium used initially to isolate the chloroplasts?
isotonic: to make sure the cells dont burst due to net flow of water into them that a hypertonic buffer can cause, or shrivel up, which a hypotonic buffer can cause.
buffered: to make sure the chloroplasts are kept at their physiological pH, which ensures that the key enzymes, proteins and other components of the cholorplasts retain their functionality.
What are the flattened memberes in chloroplasts called?
They are thylakoid membranes. They forms stacks called granna
What kingdoms include eukaryotes with chloroplasts?
Plantae is the kingdom. But protists also have them
Which is the final electron acceptor in electron transtport chain in chloroplast?
(1) NADP+ is the final electron acceptor of the light-dependent reactions. NADP+ is reduced to NADPH by ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase using electrons derived from the photon-induced splitting of H2O at photosystem II.
(2) In the light-independent or 'dark' reactions the NADPH that is formed is used to further reduce 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P). Most of the G3P formed is used to regenerate ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, while a small amount is used for biosynthesis of energy-rich molecules such as sugars, fats and amino acids. The net effect is that the original electrons (reducing power), derived from the initial splitting of water, are stored in the C-H bonds of these molecules.
Where does carbohydrate occur in a chloroplast?
It is inside the chloroplast. glucose is forming as a carbohydrate.
What 2 plant cells don't have chloroplasts?
onion cells dont contain chloroplasts as they are underground so cant photosynthesise
What are the final products made by the chloroplast during photosynthesis?
O2 and Glucose are end products.Several other products also formed.
What chloroplast structure are chlorophyll molecules found?
The chlorophyll pigment is located within the thylakoid membrane and the space between the thylakoid and the chloroplast membrane.
Do mitochondria and chloroplasts separate form the cell?
Yes,they are not cells.They are cellular organells.
Where in chloroplast does the Calvin cycle take place?
It take place in the stroma.It does not need light.
What did chloroplasts evolve from according to the endosymbiotic hypthesis?
Photosynthetic bacteria has evolved. Symbiotic living has turned it into chloroplasts
