The total number of new cases of Crohnâs disease diagnosed each year (incidence) was 10.7 per 100,000 people, or approximately 33,000 new cases per year. The total number of new cases of ulcerative colitis diagnosed each year was 12.2 per 100,000 people, or approxi-mately 38,000 new cases per year (Figure 3).
The most important part of photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts. These small photosynthesis factories buried within the leaves house chlorophyll, a green pigment secreted in the chloroplast membranes. Chlorophyll absorbs a wide range of the spectrum of sunlight, giving the plant as much energy as it can for its reactions.
In plants, photosynthesis occurs mainly within the leaves. Since photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight, all of these substances must be obtained by or transported to the leaves. [ Carbon dioxide is obtained through tiny pores in plant leaves called stomata. Oxygen is also released through the stomata. Water is obtained by the plant through the roots and delivered to the. leaves through vascular plant tissue systems. Sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll, a green pigment located in plant cell structures called chloroplasts.
