Sometimes, unusual urine odor indicates a medical condition or disease, such as: 1  Bladder infection. 2  Cystitis (bladder inflammation) 3  Dehydration. Diabetic ketoacidosis (high levels of blood acids called ketones)  Gastrointestinal-bladder fistula (abnormal connection between the intestines and bladder)
Photosynthesis occurs in eukaryotic cell structures called chloroplasts. A chloroplast is a type of plant cell organelle known as a plastid. Plastids assist in storing and harvesting needed substances for energy production. A chloroplast contains a green pigment called chlorophyll, which absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
In plants, photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, large organelles found mainly in leaf cells. The principal end products are two carbohydrates that are polymers of hexose (six-carbon) sugars: the disaccharide sucrose (see Figure 2-10) and leaf starch, a large, insoluble glucose polymer (Figure 16-33).
