differentiate between chloroplast and chlorophyll
Answers
Answer:
Differences between chlorophyll and chloroplast are due to factors such as existence and involvement in photosynthesis. Where chloroplasts exist as cell organelles(photosynthetic) in a plant cell, appearing as a structure resembling that of mitochondria’s, chlorophyll exists as a primary photosynthetic pigment within the chloroplast. Mainly, chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light from the sun converting it into chemical energy but chloroplast is a part where photosynthesis takes place.
Chlorophyll
They are fat-soluble organic molecules having tetrapyrrole ring hence referred to as the “Tetrapyrrole pigments or Magnesium chlorin”
Food producers of the cell found in green plants, present in the chloroplast
Responsible for plants to grow healthy and green
Found in the mesophyll cells in the leaves of green plants
Reflects green colour by absorbing red and blue wavelengths
Just like mitochondria, it is referred to as the power house of the cell as is responsible for ATP synthesis and other such reactions
Structure similar to that of heme group of haemoglobin and cytochromes derived from protoporphyrin
Chloroplast
Organelle found in all green plants
It is the site for photosynthesis to occur, converting sunlight into chemical energy
Found in dense fluid part of the chloroplast
Carries out photosynthesis, light reactions, carbon assimilation reaction and much more
Encloses the fluid stroma inside the double membrane
Contains tiny, flattened, floating sacs known as thylakoids arranged as granum
Answer:
chloroplast: the part of a green plant cell contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
Chlorophyll: the green substance in plant that takes in light from the sun to help them grow.
