Question 17

When would you expect to find greater amounts of chorophyll in the chlorplasts of a plant?

Accepted Answer

When the leaves are green and more sunlight is available for photosynthesis

Answer

When the leaves are first starting to change to brown because it needs to store extra energy so it can turn green again

Answer

A dead plant, because the chloroplast are no longer being used.

Answer

During winter because there is not a lot of sunshine so the plant creates more chlorophyll to try to absorb more sunlight

Accepted Answer

Chlorophyll

Answer

Cytoplasm

Answer

Plasma

Answer

Adenosine Triphosphate
