ABSTRACT The photosynthetic process of eukaryotes revolves around chlorophyll‚ the substance that give plants their green color. Plants convert light energy into chemical energy by means of photosynthesis. This experiment tests the reaction rates of a chloroplast suspension against variables of wavelengths and light intensity. Both a control and an experimental cuvette were exposed to a range of 450 to 750nm of light and varying intensities to test for reaction rates. These effects on rate were obtained

Endosymbiont theory There is compelling evidence that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once primitive bacterial cells. Both mitochondria and chloroplasts contain a ring of DNA double helix‚ just like that contained by a prokaryote. They also contain the small ribosomes‚ like those of prokaryotes. These features have caused some evolutionary biologists to suggest that some organelles are descendants of free- living prokaryotic organisms that came to inhabit larger cells. Present day prokaryotes

cells‚ more specifically in the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are organelles located within specific leaf cells in which the photosynthetic process occurs. The chloroplast organelles are made up of an outer and inner envelope membrane. Like the outer membrane‚ a chloroplasts inner membrane is permeable to H2O‚ CO2 and O2 compounds. However‚ the inner membrane acts as a barrier‚ directing the flow of charged and organic molecules. Within the inner membrane of chloroplasts is an extensive membrane structure

where plants use sunlight (energy) to synthesize foods forming the products carbohydrates and water (H20 + CO2 + Light CH2O + O2). For photosynthesis to take place they need water‚ carbon dioxide and light and chloroplasts. Light is absorbed inside he thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts‚ and the carbohydrate reaction or synthesis takes place in the stroma. In plants there are five kinds of chlorophylls with the same basic structure‚ chlorophylls occur as greenish pigments and capture light

have small kitchen gardens where you both grow tomatoes. His blotchy green and red tomatoes taste much sweeter than your perfectly uniform red ones. Could the sweetness of the tomatoes be effected by the green chloroplasts in the fruit? Hypothesis I personally think that the green chloroplasts do play a part in the sweetness of the tomatoes because it doesn’t state how ripe the tomatoes were when they were eaten‚ what type of soil was used to plant them and if the same type of tomato seeds were used

Lab 4: Photosynthesis and Chromatography of Spinach Leaves Discussion: The chromatography of the spinach leaves was taken to establish what pigments were present in the chloroplasts of the leaves. The solvent carried and separated the different pigments up the cellulose paper. The solvent moved up the paper because of capillary action because of adhesion of the solvent molecules and the paper. The pigments dissolved in the solvent also were carried up the paper and were separated because

Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to separate and identify pigments and other molecules within plant cells by a process called chromatography. We will also be measuring the rate of photosynthesis in isolated chloroplasts. Beta carotene‚ the most abundant carotene in plants‚ is carried along near the solvent front because it is very soluble in the solvent being used and because it forms no hydrogen bonds with cellulose. Xanthophyll is found further from the solvent
