How giraffes are born. The average gestation period for giraffes is 15 months. Baby giraffes, known as calves, typically weigh 100 to 150 lbs. (45 to 68 kilograms) and are about 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall when they're born, according to Animal Planet. Giraffes give birth standing up, and the baby falls â head and hooves first â from a height of 6 feet, Holloway said.
The chloroplast allows plants to harvest energy from sunlight to carry on a process known as Photosynthesis. Specialized pigments in the chloroplast (including the common green pigment chlorophyll) absorb sunlight and use this energy to combine carbon dioxide and water and make GLUCOSE and OXYGEN.
As the name implies, chloroplast contains photosynthetic pigment called chlorophyll. Because of the presence of this pigment, chloroplasts can utilize light to synthesize ATP and sugars. Thus, the organisms with chloroplasts can produce their own food. Chloroplasts have two membranes, similar to mitochondria. In addition to these membranes, they have closed compartments called grana. Grana are found inside the inner membrane, and each granum is made up of few to several dish shaped structures called thylakoids. The chlorophyll is found on these thylakoids.
