Chlorophyll contains 

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The chlorophyll containing cell organelle is chloroplast. Majority of the chloroplasts of the green plants are found in mesophyll cells of the leaves. These are lense shaped, oval and discoid like having variable length (5-10 `mu` m) and width (2-4`mu`m).
Chloroplasts are surrounded by double membrane of the two, the inner chloroplast membrane is relatively less permeable. The space limited by the inner membrane of the chloroplast is called the stroma. A number of organised flattened membrane saes called the thylakoids, are present in the stroma. Thylakoids are arranged in stacks like the piles of coines called grana. The membrane of the thylakoids encloses a spaced called a lumen. The stroma contains enzymes required for the synthesis of carbphydrates. Phytosynthetic pigments are present in thylakoids.

    Read the passage and answer the following questions. Dodder (Cuscuta) is a leafless, twining, parasitic plant belongs to morning glory family (Convolvulaceae). The genus contain about 170 twining species that are widely disturbed throughout the temperate and tropical regions of the world. The dodder contains less amount of chlorophyll and instead absorbs food through haustoria. The dodder's seed germinates, forming an anchoring root. What is the scientific name of Dodder plant?
