While cellular respiration occurs in all living organisms‚ photosynthesis relies on chlorophyll and is unique to plants‚ algae‚ and some bacteria. Respiration and photosynthesis are essentially the same process in reverse. During photosynthesis CO2 and H2O are converted to glucose and oxygen‚ while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen which are converted to CO2 and H20. Plants utilize molecules of chlorophyll which harness energy from the sun. That energy is used to break the bonds in water

because of lack of research on his point‚ he did point out the proteins and complex compounds such as chlorophyll and various lipids‚ but “carotenoid binding protein is poorly understood”. Which does not provide him with enough data to prove his hypothesis. BRIEFLY‚ what causes leaf variegation? [2 marks] Variation in leaf color arises because of a lack of the green pigment chlorophyll in some of the plant cells. It is not an adaptation to the environment‚ but instead it is usually the

studies of the specific structure of chlorophyll and published 129 papers on the topic.” (Gale‚ 5). This proves that his laboratory had impacted society by providing information and sharing that information to others. His statistics could be helpful to other scientists‚ and can lead up to discovering other useful things for the society especially for future references.

body‚ otherwise he will stay healthy. Zea mays has a lethal recessive allele for albinism; which in homozygotes causes a plant to grow with zero chlorophyll and to undergo death very fast. Heterozygotes are the carriers for this trait since the recessive homozygotes are killed. The heterozygotes for the “L” allele are green since they produce chlorophyll. The aim of the Zea mays investigation was to distinguish lethal alleles by reviewing observing frequencies in growth. In order to do this

6CO2 + 6H2O 6C6H12O6+ 6O2 Photosynthesis occurs when plants take in Carbon Dioxide from the surrounding air in its leaves and water from the nearby soil in its roots. The leaves then take light energy from the Sun‚ which is absorbed in the chlorophyll in the cells and passes it along for it to be used in photosynthesis. Glucose is produced and is converted into Starch to be stored. Oxygen is produced from the water and it is a waste product so it is released into the air. The plant uses Carbon

Its leaves look pale and weak. Plant may not even flower properly. Such a situation is an indication‚ that the plant may not be getting all that is required for normal growth and development. In most of such

I. Introduction Out of all the organelles there are two that have fascinated microbiologists for the past hundred years. The first is the mitochondria‚ nicknamed the "powerhouse of the cell." The second is the chloroplast in plant cells that have functions similar to those of the mitochondria. What do these organelles do? What are the similarities and differences of these organelles? This essay will help you to understand these two fascinating organelles. II. Mitochondria Mitochondria

Column Chromatography ________________________________________________ You have already performed two chromatography experiments: gas chromatography and thin layer chromatography. All chromatography experiments involve passing a mixture of analytes through a system that includes a mobile phase and a stationary phase. The partitioning of the analytes between these two phases determines the rate at which they pass through the system‚ and (in theory) allows them to be separated from one another. Column
