Chapter 19, Problem 1P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The component that does not belong to the chloroplast should be chosen.

Concept introduction:

Chloroplasts produce food for the plants by conversion of the light energy to sugars which can be utilized by the plants. There are two membranes that contain and protect the inner parts of chloroplast, the inner and the outer membrane.

Answer to Problem 1P

The correct answer is option (c) Cristae.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct answer:

Option (c) Cristae. It is a fold in the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. The name is from the Latin for crest or plume, and it gives the inner membrane its characteristic wrinkled shape, providing a large amount of surface area for chemical reactions to occur.

Conclusion

Reason for incorrect answer:

Option (a) Thylakoid membrane: The thylakoid system is suspended in the stroma. The thylakoid system is a collection of membranous sacks called thylakoids. The chlorophyll is found in the thylakoids and is the sight for the process of light reactions of photosynthesis to happen. So, this is an incorrect option.

Option (b) Stromal lamellae: The inner membrane of the chloroplast forms a border to the stroma. It regulates passage of materials in and out of the chloroplast. In addition of regulation activity, the fatty acids, lipids and carotenoids are synthesized in the inner chloroplast membrane. So, this is an incorrect option.

Option (d) Granum: The thylakoids are arranged in stacks known as granum. Each granum contains around 10-20 thylakoids. So, this is an incorrect option.

Can someone help me understand this. A student set up an experiment to show the effect of light color on photosynthesis in Elodea plants. She filled two test tubes with distilled water and placed a piece of Elodea in each of the tubes. She added a drop of phenol red, which turns red in a basic solution and yellow in an acidic solution. She blew in each tube before placing the volumeters on the top of the tube. Why did she blow into the tube? to add oxygen to the tube to add carbon dioxide to the tube to add carbohydrates to the tube to add sodium bicarbonate to the tube
A. The C4 plant performs photosynthesis more efficiently than the C3 when the CO2 concentration is 600ppm or less.  Provide one reason why the rate of photosynthesis doesn’t change for the C4 plant when the CO2 concentration increases above 400 ppm.   B. Discuss what is happening in the C3 plant when the CO2 levels are below 50 ppm.  Provide one reason why this does NOT happen to the C4 plant.
Modified TRUE or FALSE. Write the word TRUE if the statement is correct. If the statement is false, write the incorrect underlined word/s and indicate the correct word/s to make the statement true In the process of photosynthesis, the red wavelength is emitted in a process called as phosphorescence.
