Chloroplast and Pigments Flashcards
chloroplast is a type of
plastid
Plastid
Green color
Double-membrane
Found in green parts of plants
Concentrated in the parenchyma cells of the leaf mesophyll
With DNA
Different stages of PHOTOSYNTHESIS occur here
chloroplast
where does photosynthesis occur?
chloroplast
Freely permeable to small molecules
Outer membrane
Highly selective; Contains integral membrane proteins; does not function for PS
Inner membrane
Gap between inner and outer membrane; nucleotide phosphorylation
Intermembrance Space
Membrane-bound flattened disks
thylakoid
Arranged in stacks called GRANUM (pl. GRANA)
thylakoid
Connected through intergranal lamellae/stromal lamellae
thylakoid
Houses chlorophylls
thylakoid membrane
Different protein complexes e.g., PS1 and PS2
thylakoid membrane
ATP synthase
thylakoid membrane
contains the chloroplast DNA and ribosomes as well as many enzymes
stroma
What causes plants to have different colors?
interaction of pigment and sunlight
wavelength of visible light
380–740nm
Your retina is sensitive to visible light. It has ______ that convert light to electrical signals. The signal is sent to the brain through the _____, then the brain will form colors and images.
photoreceptors
optic nerve
The color that is not absorbed by pigments of objects is ____ or ____ and that is the color of the object that we see.
transmitted
reflected
“Biochromes”
pigments
substances that absorb visible light
pigment
Different _____ absorb light of different wavelengths.
pigments
Controls growth & development Give colors to flowers, leaves, and fruits
pigment
Plays a key role in photosynthesis
pigment
The colors attract pollinators
pigment
____ are how plants capture the sun’s energy to be used in photosynthesis.
Pigments
why are there several kinds of pigments of different colors
since each pigment absorbs only a narrow range of wavelengths
4 types of pigment
chlorophyll, caroteniod, anthocyanin, betalains
