Chloroplasts= Photosynthesis=Sugar

No chloroplasts means no more photosynthesis to produce compounds like glucose that the plant uses for energy.

We eat our food and then digest it to get high energy compounds like glucose. Plants use chloroplasts to make food, then they digest it.

No chloroplast, no plant.

There are two answers to this.

Firstly if there are no chloroplasts (or chlorophyll) in a leaf then the leaf is unable to produce glucose through photosynthesis.


Secondly due to the lack of the green pigment the leaf is white.


This occurs naturally in some plants or may be as a result of a viral infection in the plant. This is normally exhibited as an all white leaf, or a leaf that shows strong green/ white variegation patterns in the leaf.

The plant would not be able to carry out photosynthesis to make food and the plant would eventually die due to starvation.

They would be unable to feed themselves, because chloroplast is responsible for photosynthesis. Therefor, without it, the plants would never get the nutrients they need, and die.

Chloroplasts produce food for plant. So plant will die
