Question

What is the role of chloroplast in a plant cell ?

Answer 1

Chloroplast is the organelle in the cell, containing the green pigment chlorophyll in flattened disc like membranous sacs called thylakoids, stacked to form granum. This organelle is the site where photosynthesis occurs, to create food material for the plant using the sunlight falling on the leaves.

Answer 2

Hey!!

The chloroplast contains the pigment called the chlorophyll. This gives the leaves the green color as we see it. Now, you might ask there are many leaves with red, yellow colors too. This is because the chlorophyll has many colors, but the majority of them are in green color. If the majority in the chlorophyll is red, the leaf would shows us the red color. The color attributes is not only the use of the chlorophyll.

We all know that the plant will need to perform photosynthesis, in order for this, we need water, carbon dioxide and sunlight. Plant gets water from underground through roots, Carbon dioxide from the small openings on the leaves, they are called the stomata. Now, are you wondering where the sunlight is? This part is for the chlorophyll. Sunlight has many photons which gives the sunlight it's characteristics. Chlorophyll, absorbs these photons to help in the process of photosynthesis.

Hope it helps : )
