Why are plants green? In photosynthesis, chlorophyll molecules act as solar antennae, so that when sunlight strikes them their electrons are excited to a higher energy state which eventually results it the splitting of water (H2O). The hydrogen ions from the splitting of H2O form a gradient that drives the chemical synthesis of ATP. The energy stored in ATP is then used to make what compound?

Chlorophyll

Glucose

Explanation:

Plants are one of the famous autotophic organisms widely recognized. This is due to their photosynthetic ability. Plants are able to undergo Photosynthesis because of a certain light absorbing pigments called CHLOROPHYLL, found in the Chloroplast. This Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light in the colour spectrum but reflects green light making plants that contains an abundance of them appear GREEN.

The photosynthesis mentioned above is the synthesis of organic molecules from inorganic ones using light energy from sun. It occurs in two major phases: light dependent stage and light-independent stage. The light dependent stage, which occurs in the thylakoid membrane of the Chloroplast, involves the production of ATP and NADPH molecules when a photon of light strikes Chlorophyll molecule making it excited to the point of splitting water molecules in a process called PHOTOLYSIS OF WATER.

The produced ATP and NADPH molecules are then used in the light independent stage also called Calvin Cycle to synthesize organic molecule (glucose) which serves as energy source for the plant.

answer: c.

explanation:

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
