How do plants create food What is the formula for photosynthesis Where does photosynthesis take place and why is it possible?
The formula for photosynthesis (abv. photos.) is: Light Energy + Co2 + H20 --------> Carbohydrate + Oxygen As a whole, photos. takes place in the chloroplasts of a plant cell. There are two main reactions that occur during photos. The light-dependent reaction and the light-independent reaction. Each reaction takes place within a different section of the chloroplasts. The Thylakoids are the sight of the light-dependent reactions. Thylakoids look like little green coins. When they are stacked, they are called grana. Light dependent reactions are very complicated. They involve two photosystems, called photosystem II and I. Each photosystem has it's own little reaction that is complicated. PS I makes ATP and PS II makes ATP + HADPH. PS II is famous for spliting H2O's into H+ and O2. The stroma is the sight of the light indepentdent reactions. Stroma is the gel-like area outside of the thylakoids. As the name suggests, these reactions don't require light. This is called the Calvin Cycle. The Calvin Cycle pretty much takes 3CO2 and changes it into 6 PGAL's + 3C.Were dose food-making in plants take place?Were dose food-making in plants take place?
What are the pigment characteristics of red algae and cyanobacteria?
The pigments in algae are the most important part of photosynthesis. In both red algae and cyanobacteria the pigments are mostly phycobilins. These are water-soluble pigments, and are therefore found in the cytoplasm, or in the stroma of the chloroplast. They occur only in Cyanobacteria and Rhodophyta ( Red Algae)
What is the medical term for stroma?
Stroma is the medical term meaning the connective tissue that provides the framework for an organ. It's counterpart is parenchyma, which means the main mass of the organ.
The stroma is the region outside the?
Stroma is the region outside bones and organs. It refers to the connective tissue that holds the bones and organs in place.
What is meaning of central echogenic stroma?
central echogenic stroma
What are parenchymatous tissue?
In Animals,The Parenchyma are the functional parts of an organ in the body, this is in contrast to the stroma, which refers to the structural tissue of organs, namely, the connective tissues.In Plants,Parenchyma cells are thin walled cells of the ground tissue that make up most of non woody structures.The cells in the leaf constitute the mesophyll (photosynthetic parenchyma cells that lie between the upper and lower epidermis layers of a leaf) they are responsible for photosynthesis and allow for the inter change of gases.
What does parenchyma mean and what is the background of that term?
The term is New Latin, f. Greek παρέγχυμα - parenkhuma, "visceral flesh", f. παρεγχεῖν - parenkhein, "to pour in" f. para-, "beside" + en-, "in" + khein, "to pour". Parenchyma is a term used to describe a bulk of a substance. It is used in different ways in animals and in plants. The parenchyma are the functional parts of an organ in the body. This is in contrast to the stroma, which refers to the structural tissue of organs, namely, the connective tissues. If you need more on this issue, please message me.
