Question

What is chloroplast

Explain

Answer 1

DEFINITION :

A chloroplast is an organelle within the cells of plants and certain algae that is the site of photosynthesis, which is the process by which energy from the Sun is converted into chemical energy for growth.

STRUCTURE :

• The chloroplast is a structure which is surrounded by two unit membranes separated from one another by a space called periplastideal space.
• The heterogeneous nature of chloroplast is due to the presence of disc-like structures i.e., grana, in a colourless matrix called stroma.
• Each granum is made up of a stock of closed compartment called thylakoids.
• Each thylakoid consists of two parallel membranes joined at their margins. The membranes of thylakoids contain the layer of particles called chlorophyll.

FUNCTION :

• The most important function of the chloroplast is to synthesize food by the process of photosynthesis.
• Absorbs light energy and converts it into chemical energy.
• Chloroplast has a structure called chlorophyll which functions by trapping the solar energy and is used for the synthesis of food in all green plants.
• Produces ATP – Adenosine triphosphate by the process of photosynthesis.
• Produces NADPH and molecular oxygen (O2) by photolysis of water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Chloroplasts are organelles that conduct photosynthesis, where the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll captures the energy from sunlight, converts it, and stores it in the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH while freeing oxygen from water in plant and algal cells.
