The cellular arrangement of a plant leaf is a masterpiece of biological art. . The plant that I used for this video is an aquatic plant called Elodea. The reason why I used this plant is because this plant has very thin leaves, which makes them perfect to visualize them under the microscope. . It is just incredible to zoom in at different levels of magnification and to be able to see inside the cells that make up the leaf.  . But the most amazing thing is that when I look at the leaf at very high magnification, I can see the chloroplasts moving inside the cells! (chloroplasts are the organelles of the cell that perform photosynthesis). . The chloroplasts do not move by themselves. They get moved by cytoplasmic streaming, which is a mechanism that cells have to move things around in the cytoplasm using the cytoskeleton.  . In the case of plant cells that perform photosynthesis, moving chloroplasts from one part to another of the cell by cytoplasmic streaming makes photosynthesis work more efficiently because the chloroplasts get more exposure to sunlight. Since photosynthesis requires light energy, more sunlight energy means more photosynthesis. What a beautiful way to maximize the efficiency of photosynthesis! . By the way, plants are green because the pigments that they use to harvest sunlight energy are green and these pigments are located in the chloroplasts! In fact you can see that the rest of the cell is not green. Just the chloroplasts!  . One more thing, in case you were wondering, the darker dots that you see in the chloroplasts in the 1000x magnification footage are indeed thylakoids. . For this video I used an Olympus CX31 microscope at up to 1000x magnification. #photosynthesis #plantbiology #biologyclass #chloroplasts #cloroplastos #naturalshapes #shapes #shapesofnature #naturalpattern #naturalpatterns #cytoplasmicstreaming #leaf #hoja #art #arte #drbioforever
