Chloroplasts are organelles specialized for fulfilling the photosynthetic function and represent microst-ructures with the length of 5–10 µm and a diameter of 2–3 µm, with spherical, oval, discoid or ellipsoid shape.
Photosynthesis is the process of solar energy absorption by chlorophyll molecules and its conversion to the energy of chemical bonds by the synthesis of organic substances from carbon dioxide and water.The main photosynthetic organ is the leaf. It has acquired … Read more
Krebs Cycle (Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle) The pyruvic acid that results from glycolysis is subjected to activation during which an acetyl-CoA molecule is formed which goes into the Krebs cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle). These transformations, as well as the cycle … Read more
Stomatal and Cuticular Transpiration Throughout the period of growth, plant transpiration at the leaf level happens in a proportion of about 90 % through the stomata and 10 % through the cuticle. Stomata are found on the epidermis of … Read more
