adjacent cells are continuous. Plastids‚ the most notable being the chloroplasts‚ which contain chlorophyll a green coloured pigment which is used for absorbing sunlight and is used by a plant to make its own food in the process is known as photosynthesis. Other types of plastid are the amyloplasts‚ specialized for starch storage‚ elaioplasts specialized for fat storage‚ and chromoplasts specialized for synthesis and storage of pigments. As in mitochondria‚ which have a genome encoding 37 genes‚ plastids

The effect of differing wavelengths of visible light on the photosynthetic activity of Beta vulgaris Introduction Photosynthesis is a crucial biological process that occurs within the chloroplasts of plant cells where CO2 + H2O + Sunlight C6H12O6 + O2. The chloroplasts use light‚ an electromagnetic energy source‚ to produce food for the plant in the form of sugar molecules. During photosynthesis‚ the excited electrons from the light pass through proteins in the electron transport chain (ETC)‚ where

Background Theory Photosynthesis: Plants require water from the soil‚ sunlight and carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere for growth and development. In the process of photosynthesis‚ carbon dioxide and water – in the presence of chlorophyll and light energy – are converted into sugar and oxygen‚ which is given off as a by-product. Generally‚ as sunlight increases in intensity‚ the rate of photosynthesis also increases [1]. This means greater food production within the plant. Many garden vegetables

The cell is one of the most basic units of life. There are millions of different types of cells. There are cells that are organisms onto themselves‚ such as microscopic amoeba and bacteria cells. And there are cells that only function when part of a larger organism‚ such as the cells that make up your body. The cell is the smallest unit of life in our bodies. In the body‚ there are brain cells‚ skin cells‚ liver cells‚ stomach cells‚ and the list goes on. All of these cells have unique functions

Gel filtration GEL FILTRATION OF PROTIENS Aim: The aim of this experiment is to identify proteins from a complex mixture using the gel filtration technique also known as size exclusion chromatography. This technique is widely used by biochemists when proteins larger than the pores are excluded from the column and the smaller molecules elute last and then collected in test tubes for examination by spectroscopic techniques. The red/brown proteins‚ in particular‚ will be observed closely

are the same apart from three organelles in the plant cell that are not present in an animal cell. These three organelles found in a plant cell are: a cell wall‚ chloroplasts and a vauole. An animal cell does not need a cell wall because it does not need to keep a strong shape like a plant cell‚ an animal cell does not need chloroplasts because they are what absorb the light to enable the plant to go through photosynthesis whereas an animal cell does not need to go through photosynthesis they need
