- The Chloroplast Genome Codes For Many Proteins And Rnas
KEY CONCEPTS:Chloroplast genomes vary in size, but are large enough to code for 50-100 proteins as well as the rRNAs and tRNAs. What genes are carried by chloroplasts? Chloroplast DNAs vary in length from 120-190 kb. The sequenced chloroplast genomes...
- #101 Photosynthetic Pigments
Photosynthetic pigments are pigments presented in chloroplasts or photosynthetic bacteria. They capture light energy necessary for photosynthesis and convert it to chemical energy. PigmentsA pigment is any substance that absorbs light.The color...
- #100 Chloroplasts
Photosynthesis takes place inside chloroplasts. These are organelles surrounded by 2 membranes, called an envelope. Chloroplasts are found in mesophyll cells in leaves: - Palisade mesophyll cells contain most chloroplasts. - Spongy...
- #99 Photosynthesis Overview
Photosynthesis is a series of reactions in which energy transferred as light is transformed to chemical energy. Energy from light is trapped by chlorophyll, and this energy is then used to ? split apart the strong bonds in water molecules to release...
