Chrysanthemum Belliam Research Paper

Chrysanthemum belliam The Chrysanthemum belliam is an organism that belongs to the Domain Eukarya and Plantae Kingdom. Chrysanthemum are flowering plants native of northern eastern Europe and East Asia. However, this particular species of Chrysanthemum, belliam, was recently discovered in the western part of Africa, around the Gold Coast. The coastal climate of this region in Africa has produced an abundance of Chrysanthemum belliam, so lets take an indepth look at this beautiful unique organism and its functions. Like all organisms, the Chrysanthemum belliam consists of many microscopic cells. Since it is a part of the Plantae Kingdom, it is made up of plant cells. Similar to animals, all plant cells are eukaryotic because they have a nucleus, for its DNA, and membrane-bound organelles. However, unlike an animal cell, plant cell membranes have an extra enclosure called a cell wall. This cell wall, composed of cellulose (a complex carbohydrate), provides the plant cell’s protection and its shape. Excluding all the organelles that are shared between animal and plant cells leaves two important …show more content…
They are autotrophs, so they produce their own foods from nonliving sources. Like all plants the Chrysanthemum belliam main source of food is glucose, a simple carbohydrate. This simple carbohydrate (with its waste product oxygen) is a product of photosynthesis. In simple terms, photosynthesis is using the sun’s light energy to produce food - glucose. However, it’s a much more complex chemical reaction than that description. The process, which takes place in the chloroplast, uses solar energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Another reaction ongoing in the chloroplast is the Calvin cycle, which is how the plant produces 3-carbon carbohydrates from carbon dioxide molecules using energy sources, ATP and
