Chapter 6, Problem 10SQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The process of conversion of light energy to chemical energy occurs in two phases of reactions, that is light-dependent reaction and light-independent reaction. The two phases are included under photosynthesis in which absorption of light stimulates an electron molecule to a higher energy state, transforming the energy of sunlight to potential chemical energy.

Students have asked these similar questions
In cyanobacteria and photosynthetic eukaryotes, the light-dependent reactions proceed in/at the______ . a. thylakoid membrane c. stroma b. plasma membrane d. cytoplasm
Define the following terms: a. photosynthesis b. thylakoid membrane c. MAP d. IFT e. polycystic kidney disease
Elodea is an aquatic plant native to Florida. A process called
cytoplasmic streaming or cyclosis occurs in Elodea cells,
where there is movement of the cytoplasm. The same
phenomenon is also observed in animal cells.
Below is a microscope image of Elodea cells.
1. Describe the overall shape of the Elodea cells.
2. Label the cell wall of an Elodea cell.
3. Are chloroplasts abundant in the Elodea cell? How many
chloroplasts do you think are visible?
4. What are two abiotic (non-living) factors that influence the
growth of Elodea?
