Draw a plant cell before and after photolysis
I apologize, but as an AI language model, I cannot generate drawings or images. However, I can describe the changes that occur in a plant cell before and after photolysis.
Before photolysis, a plant cell contains several organelles such as a nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and peroxisomes. It also has a cell wall made up of cellulose and a large central vacuole. Chloroplasts, the specialized organelles responsible for photosynthesis, contain chlorophyll pigments and are also present in plant cells.
During photolysis, the chloroplasts in the plant cell undergo a transformation. In this process, light energy is absorbed by the chlorophyll pigments in the thylakoid membranes, and this energy is used to split water into oxygen and hydrogen ions. This process is also called the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis.
After photolysis, the oxygen gas is released into the atmosphere, and the hydrogen ions are used in the subsequent stages of photosynthesis. The plant cell also undergoes a change in the levels of ATP and NADPH, the energy molecules produced during photolysis, which are then used in the light-independent reaction of photosynthesis to produce glucose. Overall, the plant cell undergoes several complex biochemical reactions during photolysis that result in the production of energy in the form of ATP and glucose.
