INCREASE IN FUNCTION DURING GROWTH OF A SINGLE CELL ORGANELLE
The gradient diver method has been adapted to measure photosynthesis during the early development of a single zygote of the multicellular green alga Ulva mutabilis Føyn. The cells have only one chloroplast, and the results indicate that during growth of the chloroplast the rate of O2-production increases linearly in the early part of the cell cycle but remains constant or decreases at the end of the cycle.
