A rare type of chlorophyll isolated from the two algae, Tribonema bombycinum and Vaucheria hamata.
Supplement
There are different forms of chlorophylls existing in nature. Some of them are:
They all reflect the green light but the slight differences in their structure cause them to appear in different shades of green.
Plants are responsible for incredible feats of molecular transformation. Plant processes, such as photosynthesis, photophosphorylation, chemiosmosis, carbon fixing reactions, respiration, are presented in this tutorial...
The movement of molecules (specifically, water and solutes) is vital to the understanding of plant processes. This tutorial will be more or less a quick review of the various principles of water motion in reference to plants. ..
Plants, like animals, produce hormones to regulate plant activities, including growth. They need these hormones to respond well to their environment and to sustain growth, development, and dispersal. Plant biologists recognize five major groups of plant hormones: auxins, gibberellins, ethylene, cytokinins, and abscisic acid. Find out in this guide the importance of each hormone in the life of a plant...
Leaves are the major photosynthetic organ of a plant. Apart from that, they are also crucial to water movement. In this tutorial, various plant processes are considered in more detail. It also includes topics on leaf arrangements, leaf types, leaf structure, leaf color, abscission, and importance to humans...
Plant cells have plastids essential in photosynthesis. They also have an additional layer called cell wall on their cell exterior. Although animal cells lack these cell structures, both of them have nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc. Read this tutorial to learn plant cell structures and their roles in plants...
