The chloroplast was discovered in Mereschkowsky in 1905. He stated that chloroplasts are similar to mitochondria but chloroplasts are found only in plants and protista.
The chloroplast is surrounded by a double-layered membrane that is involved in energy metabolism. Chloroplasts have a few important parts such as the Stroma, which is the dense fluid within the chloroplast and is the site of conversion of carbon dioxide to sugar, the thylakoid which is the flattened sac-like membrane structures in the chloroplasts. This is the site of conversion of light energy to chemical energy.
Grana is the dense layered stacks of thylakoid sacs. The grana is the site of the conversion of light energy to chemical energy.
Starch is sometimes stored in the chloroplasts.
Chloroplasts are necessary for photosynthesis.
Plants are the main organisms that use photosynthesis to make their food.
In photosynthesis, solar energy is converted to chemical energy.

What plant cell features are not present in animal cells?
That would be the cell wall and the chloroplasts.
What features of chloroplasts and mitochondria could be used to support the notion that symbiosis provided a foothold for their development?
Symbiosis interaction between two or more different biological species. Both mitochondria and chloroplasts can arise only from preexisting mitochondria and chloroplasts. Therefore this notion is not factual.
Which part is only found in plant cells?
A cell wall made of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin is one of the unique features of plant cells. They also contain chloroplasts, which are photosynthetic organelles (that are not found in animal cells).
What cell structure is the site of photosynthesis?
chloroplasts hope this helped santiago Chloroplasts
What organelle convert solar energy into glucose and oxygen?
Chloroplasts
What are two features plant sells have that animals do not?
chloroplasts
What are the features of a cell?
chloroplasts, cell wall, permanent vacuole, cell membrane
What plant cell features are not present in animal cells?
That would be the cell wall and the chloroplasts.
What cellular features differentiate plants from animals?
Plant cells have cell walls, chloroplasts and are a square shape. Animal cells do not have cell walls, chloroplasts and are a circular shape.
What features of chloroplasts and mitochondria could be used to support the notion that symbiosis provided a foothold for their development?
Symbiosis interaction between two or more different biological species. Both mitochondria and chloroplasts can arise only from preexisting mitochondria and chloroplasts. Therefore this notion is not factual.
What features indicate that a cell is a plant cell and not an animal cell?
lack of a cell wall and chloroplasts and the presence of centrioles
Two principal organelles of eukaryotes that share features with one another and with bacteria from which they apparently were derived are the?
mitochondria and chloroplasts
What does a plant cell have that a amnimal cell not have?
The three features that a plant cell has that an animal cell does not have are cell wall, chloroplasts and vacule
What two organelles are derived from symbiotic bacteria?
Chloroplasts and mitochondria. It is believed they were engulfed by the cells because of the dual membrane present on both. Both are believed to have originated from an endosymbiotic bacteria. Mitochondria's inner matrices contain DNA, and they have many features similar to those of bacteria. Chloroplasts are believed to have come from an endosymbiotic cyanobacteria.
