Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis

The processes by which plants and many types of bacteria prepare their food by using sunlight.

Chlorophyll

The main pigment which play important role in photosynthesis is green color pigments known as chlorophyll.

Where photosynthesis take part in Plants ?

Photosynthesis take place in only leaves of the plants. These leaves are also known as solar collector because they trap sunlight from sun directly by convert
ng sunlight into chemical energy.

Raw Materials of Photosynthesis

1.      Water  (H2O)
Water comes from earth by roots of plants.
2.      Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Carbon dioxide comes from atmosphere.
How Food is prepared ?                                                
First of all, water comes from underground water resources with the help of roots of plants and Carbon dioxide comes from atmosphere. These two compounds mix together with the help of sunlight to form glucose molecules and oxygen is also released during this processes.  The processes of photosynthesis start in chloroplast region of plant which contains proteins that absorb sunlight from sun.  Such proteins are also present in the plasma membrane of bacteria. Plants store energy in the form of sugar. Plants are known as photograph's which means the plants are able to prepare their food directly from sunlight and in the presence of water and carbon dioxide. During the processes of photosynthesis, oxygen is also released which released in the atmosphere.

How sunlight change into chemical energy?

The green pigment chlorophyll is responsible of conversion of sunlight into chemical energy to start a photosynthetic reaction. Chlorophyll is a complex and have different types such as a, b, c etc but, chlorophyll a is responsible of conversion of sunlight into chemical energy and it also absorb energy from orange-red  and violet-blue wavelengths.

Structural form of Photosynthetic Parts

Chloroplast

The main green part of plant where photosynthetic processes take place is known as chloroplast. It contains main green pigment chlorophyll which play important role in forming food.  This portion has a pure green color. One plant contains 8 to 100 chloroplasts which are enclosed in phospholipids membranes.

Chloroplast Parts

1.       Two membranes
            Outer and inner membranes are present.

2.       Grana
Grana is composed of thylakoids which are disc shaped and are present in stacks.

3.       Stroma
The matrix in which grana is present is known as stroma. It is a fluid like region.

4.       Ribosome’s
      Ribosomes are also present in chloroplast.

5.       Starch
Starch is also present.

Why chloroplast is green in color?
The chloroplast is green in color due to presence of chlorophyll.

Reaction Types
There are two types of reactions which take place in plants during processes of photosynthesis which are given below,

1.       Light Reaction
This reaction takes place in the presence of light   in the grana region of chloroplast. During light reaction, ATP and NADPH are formed.

2.       Dark reaction
This reaction takes place in absence of light in stroma region of chloroplast during night. During dark reaction only ATP is formed.

Zoology

Zoology The study of animals is known as zoology. The word zoology is derived from a Greek  word’ ’Zion’’ and logos which means knowledge of animals. I n this branch we deals with structure, distribution and classification of animal are studied. History www.ntsteacher.com Conrad Gesner is known as the father of modern zoology. Modern zoology contain the study of animals from ancient to modern times and the role of Aristotle and Galen is very common in the history of zoology. The ancient work of this famous scientist is very important in zoology history. The work of Carl Linnaeus and Buffoon is very important in the diversity of life and the fossil record as well as the development of organisms. In 18 th and 19 th centuries, zoology became professional scientific branch. The interaction between organism and environment was studied by Alexander von Humboldt. Charles Darwin The work of Charles Darwin  Is important in the branch of zoology. The branch em...

Phospholipid Bilayer Structure

Plasma Membrane Plasma membrane is also known as cell membrane. Plasma membrane contain 60 to 80% protein. It contain 20 to 40% lipids and little amount of carbohydrates. Plasma membrane is permeable or selective permeable. Fluid model was most accepted as compared to other models. Functions It play important role in transport of material from inside to outside the body by active transport system which means the movements of material from lower to higher direction by using ATP molecules. Through plasma membrane only small molecules like gas, water or glucose molecules move. It also protect from outer toxic material. Composition It is composed of phospholipids layer that contain Cholesterol which make the membrane fluid consistent and Protein.  Phospholipids composed of glycerol, two fatty acids and a phosphate group.

blue whale challenge

Blue Whale Real Story www.ntsteacher.com The blue whale game is also known as blue whale challenge is an internet game which exist in many countries of the world and it contain 50 tasks which complete in the 50 days period and the last task requiring the player to attempt suicide. This processes of breached whales which is linked to attempt suicide. This game start in 2013 from Russia  F57 which is called death group. A student Philip Budeikin who was expelled from his university statted that his purpose was to clean the sucity by pushing to sucide those he deemand as having no value. In 2016, Russia Blue whale came into boarder use among youngers after a joutnalist brought attention to it through an article that  linked several unrelated sucide victims which was related to the blue whale. In Russia, his founder Budeikin was arrested and pled guilty to inciting at least teenage girls to attempt sucide. Game Bases and Rules This game was based on the relationship bet...
