Chloroplast:

Chloroplast are cell organelles that are contained in the plants. The chloroplasts have chlorophyll which enables plants to turn sunlight energy into chemical energy that can be stored and used by the plants.


The green plants have this structure known as chloroplast in their leaves that enable them to convert CO
₂ into energy rich compounds such as sugars.

The process through which this conversion is achieved is known as photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the process by which plant leaves can convert CO₂ into sugars that the plant can use to extract energy. It takes place in the chloroplasts of the plant leaves.

Photosynthesis takes place in two steps:

i) Light dependent stage,

ii) Light independent stage

The following is the equation through which the process of photosynthesis occurs: 

6 CO(g)     +        6 HO +          photons       →    CH₁₂O(aq) +      6 O(g)
(Carbon dioxide)       (water)      (light energy)         (glucose)            (oxygen)
