When the light in the high intensity, the chloroplast align perpendicular to the incident light.
Explanation:
- Chloroplast contains chlorophyll which are essential for the process of photosynthesis.
- However on increasing the intensity after a very high limit the rate of photosynthesis decreases due to the photo oxidation of chlorophyll present in the chloroplast.
- As a result during this time the plants are designed in such a way that the chloroplast align perpendicular to the direction of incident light.
- As a result most of the light does not heat the chloroplast and prevents photo oxidation of chlorophyll.

Epistrophe
Explanation:
- As plants are sessile organism, they can't move away from solid daylight or feeble light conditions, for instance under coverings. A basic method to guarantee the insurance of chloroplasts from photo damage is a shirking development of chloroplasts whereby they move from the cell surface (the periclinal divider) to a side divider (anticlinal divider).
- Chloroplast adjusts corresponding to the dividers of mesophyll cells (mostly palisade cells) when the power of light is least, to get increasingly more of light. This condition is called Epistrophe. Furthermore, when the force of light is most extreme the chloroplast gets adjusted opposite to the mesophyll cells to stay away from photo oxidation of chlorophyll an atom This condition is called Parastrophe.
