The main function of chloroplasts is to conduct photosynthesis. The chlorophyll contained inside the chloroplasts captures and stores energy from the sun. Chloroplasts also synthesize fatty acids, amino acids, and participate in the plant's immune response.

Why is cholorplasts important?

its important because it contribute in making food of plants in the process of photosynthesis.


How do plants get their colours?

Plants are green because of the cholorplasts inside of them. Choloroplasts make the plants green.

Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) have differentiated plant cells complete with cell wall and cholorplasts. It has 17 chromosomes in the nucleus and is a vascular plant.


Why do plant cells contain both cholorplasts and mitochondria?

because plant cells are weaker than animal cells. they cant eat with a fork so need to eat using mitochondria


Why would the cells of the palisdades layers have more cholorplasts in them?

Because the cells of the palisades are nearest the membrane, therefore in the position to absorb the most "light" (energy) and would need the most chloroplasts for adequate functioning of the cell.


Why is an isotonic buffered extraction medium used initially to isolate the chloroplasts?

isotonic: to make sure the cells dont burst due to net flow of water into them that a hypertonic buffer can cause, or shrivel up, which a hypotonic buffer can cause. buffered: to make sure the chloroplasts are kept at their physiological pH, which ensures that the key enzymes, proteins and other components of the cholorplasts retain their functionality.


What would be the chloroplast in a cell phone?

A better comparison would be to a calculator, because in this case the cholorplasts could be literally compared to the solar cells that power most. But in a phone, probably the battery.


The organelle in which photosynthesis takes place in the?

Plants need to absorb sunlight in order for photosynthesis to happen. To make photosynthesis efficient a plant needs its photosynthetic cells to be in an area where the surface area is maximized and light absorption can occur optimally. Leaves are where photosynthetic cells are concentrated.


What traps energy from sunlight in leaves site of photosynthesis?

Palisade Mesophyll and Spongy Mesophyll layers have cells that contain a lot of choloroplasts, but in these cholorplasts are thylakoids, sort of like mitochondria in animal cells, and in the thylakoid membranes you find photosystems one and two which absorb light through accessory pigments in the antenna complex which passes down to the chlorophyll A in the reaction centre of this photosystem.
