The part of chlorophyll molecule that is embedded in the core of thylakoid membrane is:
Correct answer: B. Hydrophobic
- A. Hydrophilic
- B. Hydrophobic
- C. Both of these
- D. None of these
Explanation
The part of the chlorophyll molecule that is embedded in the core of the thylakoid membrane is the hydrophobic tail which consists of a long carbon chain that sticks the chlorophyll molecules within the hydrophobic interior of the membranes. This allows them to capture light efficiently and convert it into chemical energy which can be used by the plant.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
