Concept explainers
To draw: A simple straight line to represent the chloroplast membrane that contains the photosynthetic pigments.
Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process by which carbon dioxide and water are broken down to produce glucose molecules by using energy from sunlight. During this process, oxygen gas is evolved. The reactions of the photosynthesis take place in the chloroplast of the plant cell which contains the green pigment chlorophyll.
To determine: The color of the chloroplast membrane that contains the photosynthetic pigments.

- Pls describe the process and relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration.arrow_forwardDiagram the internal structure of a chloroplast and explain how its components interact and facilitate the process of photosynthesis.arrow_forwardPlants containing only chlorophyll b are exposed to radiation with the following wavelengths: 10nm (x- rays), 450nm (blue light), 670nm (red light), and 800nm (infrared light). Which plants harness the most energy for photosynthesis? X-ray irradiated plants Blue light irradiated plants Red light irradiated plants Infrared irradiated plantsarrow_forward
- Describe the flow of electrons through photosystems I and II in the noncyclic electron transport pathway and the products produced. Contrast this flow with cyclic electron transport.arrow_forwardChoose 2 of the following terms: Z protein / ATP synthase / Photosystem II. What is the specific role of each of the following? Describe what and how the protein does its job. As well, explain the importance of each in the overall process of photosynthesis.arrow_forwardplease draw diagram/model Start with a photon of sunlight and a carbon atom in a molecule of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: model/diagram their pathway from that starting point to their final destination as a glucose molecule that is used for energy in a cell in the plant root. Following your diagram/model, provide a written explanation for what your diagram/model depicts. Make sure both your model and explanation are clear, concise, and have the appropriate level of detail to clearly demonstrate you understand photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and the movement of mass and energy in plants.arrow_forward
- Q. 16 Please answer correctly well explained and not from google internet. The first researchers who worked on the process of photosynthesis had difficulty finding the enzyme that performed the fixation of carbon dioxide, because they were looking for an enzyme that could attach CO2 to a two-carbon compound. Explain why these researchers were looking for a two-carbon compound.arrow_forwardvisit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMNFZnDt75c Attempt to identify the single cup-shaped chloroplast containing the eyespot for phototaxis (phototaxis: moving toward or away from light). This will be a different color than the rest of the cell. What color is it?arrow_forwardIntroduction The major context for this lab is photosynthesis, and the overall equation for photosynthesis is: 12 H2O + 6 CO2+ light energy → C6H12O6+ 6O2+ 6 H2O Exercise A: Photosynthetic Pigments Watch the following two videos about plant pigments and chromatography. To analyze the data we’ll give you, you’ll need to understand what types of pigments are found in a leaf, and understand some general characteristics of those pigments.
