FINAL TERM- PPT- CHLORO Flashcards
Are thought to have become a part of certain eukaryotic cells in much the same way as mitochondria were incorporated into all eukaryotic cells
Chloroplast
The first eukaryotic cell was probably an amoeba-like cell that got nutrients by phagocytosis and contained a nucleus
Endosymbiotic theory
Evidence that chloroplast evolved from bacteria
- Chloroplast have their own separate DNA
- New chloroplast are formed through binary fission or splitting
- Chloroplast from cyanobacteria
- mitochondria from aerobic bacteria
Greek word= ________ means green/ _________ means formed
khloros, plastes
- obtains nutrients from other plants
- lost the genes coding for the development of the chloroplast
Rafflesia
Three types of plastids
Chromoplast, chloroplast, leucoplast
These are the color plastids, found in all flowers, and fruits and are mainly responsible for their distinctive colors
Chromoplast
They are green-colored plastids, which comprise green-colored pigments within the plant cell and are call chlorophyll
Chloroplasts
They are colorless plastids and are mainly used for the storage of starch , lipids, and proteins within the plants
Leucoplast
a round, oval, or disk-shaped body that is involved in the synthesis and storage of foodstuffs
Chloroplasts
The space between inner and outer membranes. It is the region between the inner membrane and the outer membrane of a mitochondrion or a chloroplast. Its main function is nucleotide phosphorylation.
Intermembrane space
Its important roles are in signal transduction, protein import, lipid biosynthesis and remodeling, exchange of ions and numerous metabolites, plastid division, movement, and host defense.
Outer membrane
It separates the stroma from
the intermembrane space. It fills the role of the
inner mitochondrial membrane in electron
transport and the chemiosmotic generation of
ATP the inner membrane is impermeable to ions and metabolites, which are therefore able to enter chloroplast inly via specific membrane
transporters.
Inner membrane
it increase the efficiency of
photosynthesis by keeping grana at a distance so that they do not clutter together. They are also known as stroma thylakoids. They ensure
maximum energy from sunlight is captured in
photosynthesis
Stroma lamella
it is a colorless, alkaline, aqueous,
protein rich the fluid present within the inner
membrane of the chloroplast present
surrounding the grana.
