Question
Chapter 22, Problem 3RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The principal metal ions used in electron transfer in chloroplasts are to be determined and their comparison with the ions found in the mitochondria is to be done.
Concept introduction:
Chloroplast and mitochondria are the organelles of the plant having a high metal ion demand and they represent the essential components of the metal homeostasis network in the photosynthetic cell.
The main reason for the presence of transition metals in the electron transport chain is the presence of empty d orbitals, which can accommodate electrons.
