if the cell in the diagrams possessed chloroplasts where would these be
Answers
Answer:
near the nucleus.in the cell
Have you ever imagined, why Plants are unique in the entire ecosystem? It's because they can perform Photosynthesis and make their own food. They are autotrophs. But we can't Photosynthesis because we don't have chlorophyll pigment like plants. Chlorophyll is a green coloured pigment which entraps the solar energy for the process of Photosynthesis.
- ☘ And this chlorophyll is found in the chloroplasts (plastids) of the plant cell which are absent in all other cells like the animal cell.
The chloroplast is a type of plastid containing the pigment called chlorophyll. This is semi-autonomous organelles. Let's know some more about this.....
The typical structure of chloroplast is a double membranous structure having two most distinguished parts that are Grana and stroma.
- Grana
This is a lamellar system consists of stacks of thylakoid and appears as a pile of coins arranged one over another. These stacks are thylakoid. The chlorophyll is present in the membrane of thylakoids. The chlorophyll traps sunlight in small energy packets called "Photons" or "quanta". Number of thylakoids per granum is nearly 50-60.
- Stroma
The stroma is the ground non pigmented substance in the chloroplast. It is the site of dark reaction. It is a proteinaceous matrix in which the granum is embedded.
