Chloroplasts are the most important plastids found in plant cells. It is the structure in a green plant cell in which photosynthesis occurs. Chloroplast is one of the three types of plastids. The chloroplasts take part in the process of photosynthesis and it is of great biological importance. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. All green plant take part in the process of photosynthesis which converts energy into sugars and the byproduct of the process is oxygen that all animals breathe. This process

Name _________________________________ Per. ________ Unit 5: Photosynthesis & Respiration Date: ____________ Lab #14: Photosynthesis and Carbon Dioxide Consumption Elodea and Bromothymol Blue Photosynthesis is the process by which plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere‚ add water‚ and use the energy of sunlight to produce sugar. Write the equation for photosynthesis: Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast‚ an organelle in plant cells that contains the molecule chlorophyll

8961 Yellow Carotenoid 0.9615 _EVALUATION_: Study Questions: One of the requirements for the photosynthesis process to occur‚ the plant cells need sufficient light. Pigments are the substances that absorbed visible light. Different pigments absorb light of different wavelengths. From the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a‚ it suggests that blue and red light work best for photosynthesis. There is a high degree correlation between the absorption spectra of leaf and the absorption spectra

materials both plants and animals take in to grow and prosper. Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. This process occurs in plants and some algae. Plants need only light energy‚ CO2‚ and H2O to make sugar. The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts‚ specifically using chlorophyll‚ the green pigment involved in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis takes place primarily in plant leaves‚ and little to none occurs

Role of Stomata & Control Stomata : a pore found in the epidermis of plants which are used to control as exchange Main function of stomata : Allow enough C02 to enter the leaf to optimize photosynthesis‚ while conserving as much water as possible Structure of stomata * Each stomata consists of a stoma (minute pore) which are surrounded by 2 guard cells. * Stomata closes and opens according to the turgidity of the guard cells * Stomata also allows for cooling of the leaf by loss

have a starch level of 1 because the plant is missing CO2‚ which it needs to complete the photosynthesis process. 2. If the plant is in a closed environment‚ then the plant will have a starch level of 3 because it has all the environmental conditions it needs. 3. If the plant is kept in a dark environment‚ then it will have a starch level of 1 because it’s missing a fundamental resource needed for photosynthesis. 4. If the plant is kept in the presence of light‚air‚soil‚and water‚ then the plant will

molecules) to fit inside them. The place where these substrate molecules fit into is called the active site. The enzymes are denatured if the shape of the enzyme changes and the active site will no longer work. The enzymes involved in respiration‚ photosynthesis and protein synthesis work inside cells. Other enzymes are produced by specialised cells and released from them. The digestive enzymes are like this. They pass out into the gut‚ where they catalyse the breakdown of food molecules. Different

Then I fell right on a beautiful patch of grass and was soaked up by the rich soil and was absorbed by the plant and was used for the process of photosynthesis. Then after I am stored in the grasses energy reserves a mean consumer ate my grass house‚ and I was all of a sudden in a slimy and gross stomach of a dirty consumer. But I knew I could escape from this peril. So I thought of the best way to escape
