Chloroplasts occur in a variety of shapes and sizes, such as corkscrewlike ribbons or bracelet-shapes found in certain green algae. The chloroplasts of higher plants, however, tend to be shaped somewhat like two frisbees glued together along their edges, and when they are sliced in median section they resemble the outline of a football. Chloroplasts may be from 2 to 10 micrometers in diameter, and each is bounded by an envelope consisting of two delicate unit membranes . The outer membrane apparently is derived from endoplasmic reticulum whereas the inner membrane is believed to have orginated from the cell membrane of a blue-green bacterium. Within is a colorless, fluid, enzyme-containing matrix, called the stroma. Grana (singular: granum), which are stacks of coin-shaped double membranes called thylakoids are suspended in the stroma. The membranes of the thylakoids contain green chlorophyll and other pigments. Theses "coin-stacks" of grana, are vital to life as we know it on our planet today, for it is within the thylakoids that the first steps of the all-important process of photosynthesis occurs.
Chloroplasts are dark green round structures found in a plant cell. Their main functions is to undergo photosynthesis of the cell. Chloroplasts are dark green in color due to the chlorophyll in them.
It traps the energy from the sun and changes it into chemical energy that plants use.
A chloroplast is an organelle found in many plants that contains the mechanisms for photosynthesis, the process by which plants obtain energy from sunlight. It has no sysnonym and antonym since it is an object, not a description.
Gloeocapsa does not have chloroplast because it is a prokaryote. Only plants have chloroplast
roshelle mesina love alberto The parts of Chloroplast are - Stroma and grana.
every plant has chloroplast
A chloroplast is a jelly

Chloroplast transform light energy into chemical energy.So it is an energy transferer.

chloroplast
The chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis. The chloroplast is composed of the lumen and the stroma. The inside of the chloroplast looks like stacks of discs with gel in between them.
yes, all plant life has chloroplast. chloroplast is what makes the plant food
