1-DNA sequencing studies of the residual chloroplast genome suggest that the higher plant chloroplast may have retained a respiratory-like NADH dehydrogenase (Ndh complex) during evolution despite the fact that its metabolism is geared towards photosynthesis. Together with the recently identified IMMUTANS protein, a homologue of the alternative oxidase of mitochondria, one role of the Ndh complex may be to participate in a chlororespiratory electron transfer pathway . Additionally Ndh may play a role in cyclic electron flow around photosystem one.\n\n2-Evidence is presented to substantiate a chloroplastic respiratory pathway in the green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, whereby reducing equivalents generated during the degradation of starch enter the thylakoidal chain at the plastoquinone site catalyzed by NADH-plastoquinone reductase. In this formulation, the reduced plastoquinone is oxidized either by the photoevolution (photosystem I) of H2 under anaerobic conditions or by O2 during dark respiration.

The amount of O2 produced depends on the rate of photosynthesis, \nnot the breadth of the leaves.  Fast growing plants under good \nconditions produce the most O2.

Well, technically plants spend carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.I think... I would think that since most plants continue to grow until they die, that the bigger they get, the more carbon dioxide they use, and the more oxygen they produce.

In an eukaroyotic plant cell the mitochondria is contained in the nucleus. The mitochondria are the "power plants" of the cell. There are three main classes of plant cells: Epidermis, Vascular tissue, and Ground tissue. The second type transports materials through the plant. Since the plant is larger, being a tree, perhaps the longer distance means the cells need more mitochondria to travel that longer distance. In a bush this would not be neccessary. The third type peforms photosynthesis and does starch storage and stuctural support. These types are further broken down into Parenchyma, Collenchyma, and Sclerenchyma. Since it is a larger plant and more starch needs to be stored, perhaps this explains it. More powerhouses would seems to me to be a benefit in greater starch storage for a larger plant. I did not know there could be more mitochondria in one plant cell than in another. Your statement was the first I'd heard of it.

Cell wall, onions also contain chloroplasts which produce chlorophyll.

in mitocondria and chloroplasts there is a series of proteins which 'pass on' electrons to generate energy.  It's called 'electron transport', and is usually discussed in terms of glycolysis and photosynthesis

if you're talking about plant cells, then it is for photosynthesis, the plant's way of making food. This is how it works.\n\nthe plant takes in carbon dioxide, water, and light. These are processed in the cell's chloroplasts and food is produced. The by-products of photosynthesis are sucrose (sugar) and oxygen, which is why we depend on rain forests and plants to give us a continuous supply of oxygen. In goes CO2 and out comes Oxygen!!

You should do an experiment, that's what i did.\n \nPhotosynthesis is the production of food compounds from carbon dioxide and water by green plants using energy from sunlight, absorbed by chlorophyll ie. photosynthesis is how plants feed.\n\nlightlightlil\n\n6CO2 + 6H2O                 à C6H12O6 + 6O2\n\n        Raw materials   Products\n\nie.         Green plants make organic substances from inorganic substances.\n\nIn order to keep the equation for photosynthesis simple, glucose is shown as the only food compound produced. However, this does not mean that glucose is not the only food compound produced.\n\nThe process of taking in and giving out gases is known as gaseous exchange. When green plants photosynthesise, they take in CO2 and give out O2. This only happens in daylight when light is available as an energy supply. The exchange of gases in green plants in light is the opposite of that of animals; however this does not mean that green plants do not respire. During daylight, plants photosynthesise and respire at the same time, hence all CO2 produced by the plant during respiration is transformed into O2 and food (and thus energy) for the plant. It is only when the rate of photosynthesis is greater than the rate of respiration that CO2 will be taken in and excess O2 given out.\n\nie.         In darkness O2 is taken in and CO2 is given out - there is no p/s; in dim light the rate of respiration and p/s    is equal - there is no gaseous exchange with the air; in bright light however p/s is faster than respiration          and thus O2 is given out - CO2 is taken in to use for p/s and the CO2 made from the plant’s respiration is   also used to make O2.\n\nie.         The more light (the higher the light intensity), the greater the rate of p/s - unto the LSP [see below].\n\nIf a plant is given plenty of sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, the limit on the rate of p/s is the ability of the plant to absorb these materials and make them react. (eg. total number and capacity of chloroplasts and the physical limitation of carbon dioxide diffusion.) Most of the time plants DO NOT have an unlimited supply and so the rate of p/s is not as high as it might be.\n\nBlackman’s Law states that:\n\n            “The factor in least supply will be the limiting factor.”\n\n\n\nAs the light intensity (LI) increases, the rate of p/s increases, until the plant is photosynthesising as fast as it can - the LSP - Light Saturation Point. When the LSP is reached, plants cannot photosynthesise any faster, even when the light gets brighter. From this point on, according to Blackman’s Law, the factor in least supply will be the limiting factor ie. either CO2, H2O or temperature will be the limiting factor.\n\n\n\nAs the amount of CO2 available increases, the rate of p/s increases, until the plant is photosynthesising as fast as it can - the CSP - CO2 Saturation Point. If both CO2 and light supply are increased together, the rate of p/s will level out. Henceforth it is limited, according to Blackman’s Law, by the factor in least supply, either H2O or temperature. however there is a physical limitation of the carbon dioxide diffusion and the plant’s sunlight absorption.\n\n\n\nAt a lower temperature, the rate of p/s is increasing with increasing LI or CO2 availability, but the LSP or CSP is quickly reached. At a higher temperature, the rate of p/s increased further and reaches the LSP / CSP slower. Thus we can se that temperature affects the rate of p/s - it is higher at higher temperatures.\n\nFrom this information, one can see that if one wants to investigate solely the effect of the quantity of light on Elodea, one must keep both the amount of CO2 and the temperature constant.\n\nLight intensity will decrease as the distance between the light source and the object increases, and vice versa.\n\nThus the relationship between LI and distance can be described as\n\n         1 This value will be very small; multiplying the LI 1000\n\nLI =

In Photosynthesis, plants use the sun's energy as light to transform carbon dioxide and water into glucose.  In cellular respiration,  glucose is ultimately broken down to yield carbon dioxide and water, and the energy from this process is stored as ATP molecules.

Theory? I mean, I can think of the endosymbiotic theory, but that's eukaryotes. Perhaps you mean the organelle that carries out photosynthesis in prokaryotes?

>>>if chloropyll is implanted in to an animal cell,would it\n>>>>> become auto trophic\n\nNo. \n\nAs Masyhur points out chlorphyll is just a tiny part of an incredibly complex system of pigments and enzymes needed to harvest light.  It is really akin to asking whether you could glue a carburettor to the side of a cardborad box and turn it into an airplane. \n\nA more plausible route would be to implant entire chlorplasts into an animal cell line. That has potential, but only for narrow range of animals.\n\nSee, the thing about chloroplasts is they need light to work. And the thing about most animals is that they have evolved pigments to stop light penetrating their cells. The two conditions are mutually exclsuive. You could implant or the chlorplasts you like into a human or cockroach and they won't do anyhting because they will be permanently in the dark.\n\nWith transparent animals like jellyfish or glass fish or similar you probably could achieve some level of autotrophic activity. \n\nIn the case of a highly active animal like a fish the payoff wouldn't be worth the cost. Chlorplasts require energy to build and maintain and active animals can't afford to laze around int he sun all day. That's why the ancestors of animals abandoned their chlorophyll in the first place (did you know that all animals are descended from photosyntheic organisms?)\n\nBut with slow moving animals like jellyfish it becomes more plausible. Some jellyfish already utilise symbiotic algae to harvest sunlight, so for those species the addition of inherent chlorpplasts could be a major boon.\n\n>>>>IS IT POSSIBLE \n\nNot with todays technology. However it is entirely possible we could have the technology to implant chlorplasts within our liftimes. I dont; quite see why we would bother, but still.....

ATP energy is not released through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis rather stores energy into glucose using carbon dioxide, water, and sun light. Cellular respiration releases the energy from the glucose to create 36 ATP molecules.\n\nHope this helps!

A plant uses photosynthesis to produce glucose.\n\nSome of the glucose will be used in respiration to generate energy.

the photosynthesis makes food for the rest of the plant transported by phloem. the movement of a plant towards light is phototropism

Diffusion of carbon dioxide and oxygen take place in the alveolar of the lungs.  Since there is a higher concentration of oxygen in the alveolar sac as compared to the capillaries surrounding it, the oxygen goes from the higher concentration to that of the lower concentration.  The carbon dioxide is more concentrated in the capillary blood than the alveoli. so it diffuses into the lungs.  \n\nIn photoynthesis water must diffuse into the plant or bacterial cell.  It is then destroyed in what is commonly called the light reactions.  It is separated into Hydrogen ions and oxygen.  The oxygen is released into the air via diffusion and the Hydrogen ions are used to produce ATP.  Since the water is used up more is needed to keep the process up. So more water diffuses into the cell.  In order for tthe palnt to make food from the carbon dioxide that has diffused into the cell as well. It must enter the chloroplast.  Here the Dark reactions of the process occur.  The carbon dioxide is used up along with some of the ATP to make sugar.  SO as the sugar is made and relocated this creates a carbon dioxide deficit in the chloroplast.  So more Carbon dioxide diffuses into it.  This continues until the process stops or the plant dies.

I would say it is the leaf of a plant or the plant itself.  The leaf gives off oxygen (the waste product) during photosynthesis.\n\nOr: (I grabbed this off Wikipedia)\nphotosynthesis uses water as an electron donor which is oxidized into molecular oxygen by the absorption of a photon by the photosynthetic reaction centre.

1. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts capture light energy from the sun to produce the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH through a process called photosynthesis\n\n2. the acrosome is an organelle that develops over the anterior half of the spermatozoon's head. It is a cap-like structure derived from the Golgi apparatus. Acrosome formation is completed during testicular maturation. In Eutherian mammals the acrosome contains digestive enzymes (including hyaluronidase and acrosin).\n\n3. A centriole in biology is a barrel shaped microtubule structure found in most animal cells, and cells of fungi and algae though not frequently in plants. The walls of each centriole are usually composed of nine triplet microtubules, although Drosophila embryos have nine doublets and Caenorhabditis elegans sperm cells and early embryos have nine singlets.Centrioles are important in the cell division process, organizing the mitotic spindle upon which the chromosomes are pulled apart. \n\n4. A flagellum (plural, flagella) is a whip-like organelle that many unicellular organisms, and some multicellular ones, use to move about. They may also be involved in other processes. The name actually covers three different structures, found in each of the three domains. Bacterial flagella are helical filaments that rotate like screws. Archaeal flagella are superficially similar, but are different in many details and considered non-homologous. Eukaryotic flagella - those of animal, plant, and protist cells - are complex cellular projections that lash back and forth. Sometimes the last are called cilia or undulipodia to emphasize their distinctiveness.\n\n5. The endoplasmic reticulum or ER (endoplasmic means "within the cytoplasm," reticulum means "little net") is an organelle found in all eukaryotic cells. It is part of the endomembrane system. The ER modifies proteins, makes macromolecules, and transfers substances throughout the cell. Prokaryotic organisms do not have membranous organelles and thus do not have an ER. The basic structure and composition of the ER is similar to the plasma membrane, although it is actually an extension of the nuclear membrane. The ER is the site of the translation, folding, and transport of proteins that are to become part of the cell membrane (e.g., transmembrane receptors and other integral membrane proteins) as well as proteins that are to be secreted or "exocytosed" from the cell (e.g., digestive enzymes).\n\n6. Glyoxysomes are membrane-bound organelles found in plants, particularly in the fat storage tissues of germinating seeds. Glyoxysomes contain enzymes that initiate the breakdown and conversion of fatty acids to sugars, which the emerging seedling uses as an energy and carbon source until it is able to produce its own sugar by photosynthesis. In this pathway, fatty acids are hydroylzed to acetyl-CoA for the glyoxylate bypass\n\nthere are so many more organelles........
