How many chloroplasts can be found in a cell?
The process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy, resulting in the production of oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds, is called Chloroplast.Free-living close relatives of chloroplasts, photosynthetic cyanobacteria are thought to be descended from such organisms.
The process by which energy from the Sun is converted into chemical energy for growth is called photosynthesis.A plastid is a saclike organelle with a double membrane that is used to absorb light energy.
Plants and algae have Chloroplasts in their cells.Chloroplasts are found in tissues that don't look green, such as the brown blades of giant kelp or the red leaves of certain plants.The leaf mesophyll contains the parenchyma cells, which are the internal cell layers of a leaf.
The green color of Chloroplasts is due to the fact that they contain the key ingredient for photosynthesis.There are several different forms of chlorophyll.Green algae and higher plants have chlorophylls a and b.
Extranuclear DNA is small circular chromosomes found in the chloroplasts and mitochondria.There are genes in Chloroplast that are involved in photosynthesis.It is thought that the cells are descended from free-living cyanobacteria, which could explain why they have different genes than the rest of the cell.
