hi somaall here is your answer!

The main difference between chloroplast and chromoplast is that chloroplast is the green color pigment in plants whereas chromoplast is a colorful pigment whose color can be yellow to red. Furthermore, chloroplast contains chlorophylls and other carotenoids while chromoplast generally contains carotenoids.

dont waste your points dear!!

The main role of chloroplasts is to carry out the photosynthesis, containing many reactions like Light reaction and carbon assimilation reaction. Hence we can say that entire process of photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, whereas the role of chlorophyll is to reflect green color and absorbs blue and red wavelength. Like that of mitochondria, chlorophyll is called the ‘powerhouse‘ of the cell, as it is only responsible for ATP synthesis and other reactions.

One should have the basic knowledge of cells in order to understand their organelles and its functions deeply. As we know both chlorophyll and chloroplast are parts of a plant cell, and not of animal cells. In the provided article we will consider the difference between both entities along with the general discussion on them.

Chlorophyll is pigment which gives a green color to the plants, by absorbing the wavelength of red and blue and reflecting green; Chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis and other chemical reactions like light and carbon-assimilation reaction, even chlorophyll is found in layers of the chloroplast.

Mainly chlorophyll is of two types which are Chl a and Chl b, but there are no such kinds of chloroplast though they are present in number in plant cells.

Chlorophyll is found in all plants, algae, and cyanobacteria while chloroplast is found in all plants and algae.

Chlorophyll contains green pigments and carotenoids which have red and yellow pigments; while chloroplast does not have any pigments.

Chlorophyll does not have their own DNA; Likewise mitochondria, chloroplast contains their own organelle DNA called cpDNA.

The presence of chlorophyll is marked inside the chloroplast, in the thylakoid membranes, whereas assembly of the chloroplast is higher, throughout the plant cell especially in leaves.

Conclusion

We can say that there are many distinguishing features found in plant cell and animal cell structure, like chlorophyll and chloroplast which are present only in the plant cell, especially in green plants.

Chlorophyll is the part of chloroplast and is the light absorbing pigments which provide green color to the plants, but chloroplast traps the solar energy, which is the site of photosynthesis and other chemical reactions and works as the ‘powerhouse of the cell’ like mitochondria.
