Chloroplasts

The specific molecule being made in chloroplasts is glucose through the process of photosynthesis. This is accomplished by using light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Chloroplasts in leaves are essential for photosynthesis, the process where plants convert sunlight into energy. They contain chlorophyll, the pigment that captures light energy. This enables plants to produce glucose and oxygen, which are crucial for their growth and survival.

The red coloring pigment in plants is called anthocyanin. It is responsible for the red, pink, and purple hues seen in leaves, flowers, and fruits. Anthocyanins also act as antioxidants in plants, providing protection against stress and UV damage.

Mitochondria are not natively part of an organism - animal or plant. They were a symbiotic invasion very early in evolution. They are living things, respire and consume energy, and have their own DNA.

The MtDNA as it is known, is constructed from maternal material, and thus it consists of your mother's MtDNA, and this genetic marker has been of great value in tracing lineage over evolutionary ranges.

But their importance is that they enhance the ATP energy producing reaction in the body.

[I understand that there is a 'native' ATP process available but much less efficient then that of the Mitochondria. But I'm not a biochemist. ]

okay, animal cells don't have chloroplasts!! only plant cells do!! chloroplasts give the plant its green color!!

round and typically green consisting of chlorophyll.

No, you cannot observe chloroplasts in onion cells because onion cells do not contain chloroplasts. Onions belong to a group of plants known as monocots, which typically lack chloroplasts in their cells. Chloroplasts are mostly found in the cells of green plants that undergo photosynthesis.

By definition, prokaryotic cells cannot have chloroplasts. This is either a trick question or the answer should replace prokaryotic with eukaryotic.

In eukaryotic cells, the chloroplast serves as an energy translator. It takes energy from photons and translates it into usable energy for the cell via carbon compounds. These carbon compounds are eventually combined to form sugars.

Chloroplasts in leaf cells are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy (glucose) using chlorophyll. This process allows plants to make their own food. Additionally, chloroplasts help regulate the exchange of gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen within the leaf.

Chloroplasts are found in the cells of plants and other photosynthetic organisms, typically within the cytoplasm of the cell. They are most abundant in the cells of the mesophyll, which is the middle layer of cells in a leaf.

Cells without chloroplasts are typically specialized for functions other than photosynthesis. These cells may perform tasks such as energy production (mitochondria), storage (vacuole), structure (cell wall), or communication (nervous system). Overall, cells without chloroplasts serve a variety of essential roles within multicellular organisms.

The green pigment found in the chloroplast of certain leaf cells is called chlorophyll. It plays a key role in photosynthesis, absorbing light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

The thylakoid membrane within the chloroplast contains photosynthetic pigments, such as chlorophyll, carotenoids, and xanthophylls. These pigments are responsible for capturing light energy during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

Photons are absorbed by chlorophyll molecules in chloroplasts during photosynthesis. This absorption of light energy is used to drive the process of converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Things that are commonly used to hold stacks of money include rubber bands, money clips, wallets, and bank bands. These items help keep the money organized and secure when handling or transporting large amounts of cash.

If a plant cell had chloroplasts but lacked mitochondria, it would not be able to perform cellular respiration to generate energy in the form of ATP. This could severely impact the cell's ability to function properly, as ATP is essential for many cellular processes. The presence of chloroplasts would allow the cell to still carry out photosynthesis to produce glucose, but without mitochondria, it would not be able to efficiently convert this glucose into ATP.

Chlorophyll is responsible for the green color in leaves due to its structure and ability to absorb red and blue light while reflecting green light. It contains a magnesium atom at the center of its molecule, which plays a key role in capturing light energy for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll molecules are found in chloroplasts within plant cells, where they help convert light energy into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.

Chloroplasts are necessary for photosynthesis. This must in some way be necessary to operate the opening and closing of stoma. The neighboring epidermal cells do not have chloroplasts and do not require large amounts of energy from photosynthesis do to their simple job of being the "skin" of the leaf. These epidermal cells are fed by lower layers which do have chloroplasts.

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are believed to have originated from a process called endosymbiosis, where a eukaryotic cell engulfed a photosynthetic bacterium (for chloroplasts) and a respiratory bacterium (for mitochondria). Over time, these bacteria developed a symbiotic relationship with the host cell, eventually evolving into the organelles we see today. This process provided the host cell with energetic advantages, leading to their evolutionary success.

Plasmolysis in cells results in loss of water, causing shrinkage of cell contents. This process helps in preserving jams and pickles by creating an environment with reduced water content, making it difficult for microorganisms to grow and spoil the food. Additionally, plasmolysis helps to maintain the structural integrity of fruits and vegetables, ensuring the preservation of their texture and flavor.

It is thought that chloroplasts and mitochondria were prokaryotic organisms and they were engulfed by a eukaryotic organism and instead of being digested by the cell a symbiotic relationship was formed. this is called endosymbiosis. the first scientist to pioneer this kind of thinking was Mereschkowsky back in 1905.

Taking chloroplast as the example, most of the genes from the chloroplast genome have been intergrated into the nulcear genome. Those that are left are conserved in both the chloroplast genome and the cyanobacteria genome. (the cyanobacteria is the prokaryotic organisms that is thought to have been engulfed, thus creating the ancestor to the modern chloroplast). For example, the gene for bacterial cell division is also found in the chloroplast genome. Comparing both the modern chloroplast genome and the modern cyanobacteria genome it is possilbe to see just how many genes that where originally chloroplast based have jumped ship and gone to the nuclear genome.

Both animals and plants contain mitochondria but only plants contain chloroplasts. This suggests that the endosymbiotic relationship between the eukaryotic cell and the mitcohondria happen before the animal and plant lines diverged.

NO, only plant leaves. This is because photosynthesis(assuming you know what that is) takes place within these leaves- so chloroplasts in the leaves trap photons(light particles) with a green substance called chlorophyll. The trapped energy is then used as food for the plant! The green in the chlorophyll gives plant leaves their green color! Cool, eh?

Starch grains are primarily associated with the chloroplasts in plant cells. They are synthesized and stored in chloroplasts as a reserve energy source for the plant.

Yes, it is possible to leave fingerprints on plants since they have a surface that can retain the oils and moisture from your skin. However, it may be more difficult to see the fingerprint clearly due to the texture and structure of the plant's surface.

Four phyla of unicellular plantlike protists are Chlorophyta (green algae), Rhodophyta (red algae), Bacillariophyta (diatoms), and Euglenophyta. Each of these phyla includes various species of single-celled organisms that exhibit plant-like characteristics such as photosynthesis.
