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.
Photosynthesis is the process by which light energy is captured, converted and stored in simple sugar molecule. This process occurs in chloroplasts and other parts of green organisms. It is a backbone process, in the sense that all life on earth depends on itâs functioning. The following equation sums up the process: 6CO2 + 12 H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2 +6H2O.
