Best Answer

chloroplast are store the chlorophlly the is a green substance that makes the plant turn green.

Apart from that here are the major functions of the chloroplast :

(1) Absorption of light energy and conversion of it into biological energy.

(2) Production of NAPDH2 and evolution of oxygen through the process of photosys of water.

(3) Production of ATP by photophosphorylation. NADPH2 and ATP are the assimilatory powers of photosynthesis. Transfer of CO2 obtained from the air to 5 carbon sugar in the stream during dark reaction.

(4) Breaking of 6-carbon atom compound into two molecules of phosphoglyceric acid by the utilization of assimilatory powers.

(5) Conversion of PGA into different sugars and store as stratch. The chloroplast is very important as it is the cooking place for all the green plants. All heterotrophs also depend on plasts for this food.
