Question

Chloroplast are called energy convertors. Explain.

Answer 1

As chloroplast contain chlorophyll in them and this pigment helps in trapping sunlight and preparing food. This prepared food stored in leaves are utilized and the energy is released. So, chloroplast are called energy convertors.

Answer 2

The chloroplasts are called as energy convertors because chloroplasts help in food manufacturing process for plants.

Chloroplasts are "microscopic organelles" present in a plant. These organelles comprise stack of flat thylakoid. These thylakoids contain chlorophyll pigment which is green in color. This pigment helps to absorb light energy (photons) and prepare sugar molecules. This process is called photosynthesis.

The sugar molecules are stored as starch and produce energy which helps in plant growth and cell repair. The plants use water and carbon dioxide during the photosynthesis process.
