can either be categorized as either light-dependent or light independent reactions. By testing the effectiveness of these reactions within chloroplasts‚ the ability of spinach to thrive in varied temperatures was determined. The hypothesis‚ which predicted the decrease in efficacy and productivity of the photosynthesizing activity in spinach leaf chloroplasts placed in

6H20 + light -> C6H12O6 + 6O2. The variable being tested in this experiment is the affect of light on the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast; the absorption of light takes place in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast and the sugar formation takes place in the stroma‚ which is the fluid within the chloroplast that surrounds the thylakoid. Photosynthesis occurs because this is the process that plants use to make its own fuel and energy. Photosynthesis occurs in plants

sunlight energy (which is converted to chemical energy) and enzymes in the chloroplasts (mainly mesophyll cells called palisade cells). How It Works: Carbon Dioxide + Water  Glucose + Oxygen 6CO2 + 6H2O  C6H12O6 + 6O2 - Water from the soil travels (by osmosis) through root hair cells to the xylem vessels then passes into the mesophyll cells (palisade) to the chloroplasts. - Carbon dioxide from air diffuses into leaves through stomata then it

some features are always the same. For example‚ the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called photosynthetic reaction centers that contain chlorophylls. In plants‚ these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts‚ while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane. Some of the light energy gathered by by chlorophylls is stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate ( ATP). The

The chloroplasts are probably what gave the elodia a muddy looking hue. 5. The chloroplasts were small and hard to see‚ looking like a small‚ circular dot. 6. The function of the chloroplasts are to capture energy from sunlight and use it to create food for the cell. Onion Skin: Analysis: 1. The shape of

hypertonic because it shrank the membrane in plasmolysis‚ which forced all of the chloroplasts to the center of the cell. The cell possessed a higher concentration of water than the solution‚ which expelled all of the water in the cell‚ causing it to shrink. Solution Z is hypotonic because of the visible turgor pressure forcing the chloroplasts to the edge of the cell. The sudden rush of water in the cell forced the chloroplasts to the edge of the cell. Blood plasma could be expected to be isotonic to blood

Within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast‚ are two photosystems. Photosystem I optimally absorbs photons of a wavelength of 700 nm. Photosystem II optimally absorbs photons of a wavelength of 680 nm. The numbers indicate the order in which the photosystems were discovered‚ not the order of electron transfer. Under normal conditions electrons flow from PSII through cytochrome bf (a membrane bound protein analogous to Complex III of the mitochondrial electron transport chain) to PSI. Photosystem

nucleus‚ in chloroplasts and in mitochondria. The mutation can take place in a leaf bud during mitose (a somatic mutation) resulting usually in a change in part of an organism. A mutation in the flower during meiose (pollen or egg cell formation) leads to a change in the whole plant (usually visible only in the second generation). Mutations can also be divided into two types: nuclear mutations that inherit via both parents‚ and cytoplasmic mutations i.e.‚ in the DNA of chloroplast or mitochondria
