Chloroplasts
How many Chloroplasts are there in Plant Cells?
40 to 50 per cell
Which of the following chemical equations is used for the photosynthesis description?
6 CO2 + 6 H2O - C6H12O6 + 6 O2
What are the types of cell respiration?
There are two types of cell respiration: aerobic cell respiration, a reaction with participation of molecular oxygen (O2), and anaerobic cell respiration, without participation of molecular oxygen but with other inorganic molecules as oxidant. There are several varieties of anaerobic cell respiration, the main one is fermentation.
What is the color of chlorophyll?
Green, that's what makes the plants green.
What is a lysosome?
The organelle that contains hydrolytic enzymes used to break down biological molecules
Where is the chlorophyll pigment located in the plant cells?
Chloroplast
In which organelles does the process take place?
The process mostly takes place in the chloroplasts of plant leaf mesophyll cells.
Under which conditions do aerobic cells carry out fermentation?
Some cells that usually obtain energy from aerobic cellular respiration can carry out fermentation when oxygen is not available. There are bacteria and fungi that under absence of oxygen use their anaerobic metabolic capability for energetic supply. Muscle cells carry out fermentation too when oxygen is scarce.
What is Chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is what makes plants a green color. It is also found in algae and cyanobacteria. It is very important to the process of photosynthesis which gives plants its energy.
Lysosomes contain enzymes that work best under ----- conditions
acidic conditions / low pH
What parts of chloroplast store the chemical energy in glucose molecules?
Stroma of the chloroplast store the chemical energy in glucose molecules.
Where does the energy for the process come from?
The energy for photosynthesis comes from light.
What is the alcoholic fermentation equation?
C6H12O6 + 2 ADP + P --> 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2 + 2 ATP
What is the Role of Chlorophyll?
Plays a main role in the conversion of sunlight into energy.
The process in which enzymes inside lysosomes break down substances using this type of reaction.
Hydrolysis
What would happen if a plant's chloroplasts were destroyed?
The plant would wither up and die because the plant's chloroplasts are the nutrient makers in a plant.
Which pigment converts light energy into chemical energy?
Light energy is converted to chemical energy by chlorophyll.
What is the lactic fermentation equation?
C6H12O6 + 2 ADP + P --> 2 C3H5OOH + 2 ATP
What contains Chlorophyll?
Plant cells are the only cells that contain chlorophyll.
What is the lysosomal membrane
The membrane surrounding a lysosome that prevents its digestive enzymes from damaging the rest of the cell
What is a chloroplast?
Chloroplast is an organelle found in plants and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs. The chloroplast contains chlorophyll.
What are the two sets of reactions called?
There are two sets of reactions, light dependent and light independent.
What is the end product of fermentation?
CO2 (Waste Product) & NAD+ (Returns to the process of Glycolysis)
Where is chlorophyll found?
Chlorophyll, the green pigment found in most plants, is found in chloroplast. It uses the energy that it absorbs from the light, and converts carbon dioxide to carbs.
What is intracellular digestion?
When a lysosome fuses with a vesicle containing material that needs to be digested, allowing its enzymes to break down the contents.
