What is the function of the chloro plast?

Answer 1

The chloroplast is a fundamental organelle found in plants, acting as the mother, if you will, providing food to her children. One could argue that without chloroplasts, there would be no life; this fundamental organelle is vital for the process of photosynthesis to occur. Chloroplasts, in conjunction with chlorophyll, give plants their green color. They consist of 3 membranes, the intermembrane space, outer membrane, and the thylakoids. The inside of the chloroplast has fluid called stroma that contains small circular molecules of DNA as well as ribosome's. Stacks of thyakloids also found in the stroma, resemble a pile of CD's called and are called grana. Inside of the thyakloids contain chlorophylls and carotenoids which are the molecules that capture the sun light needed for photosynthesis.

Answer 2

The chloroplast is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, where it converts light energy into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose. This process enables plants to produce their own food.
