No, chloroplasts are found in the cells of green plants (and in the euglena, a type of protozoan) but not in viruses.

Do you viruses carry out photosynthesis?

No, viruses do not carry out photosynthesis. They are acellular entities that lack the cellular machinery required for metabolic processes, including photosynthesis. Viruses depend on host cells for replication and do not possess the necessary structures, such as chloroplasts or photosynthetic pigments, to convert light energy into chemical energy.


What diseases are related to chloroplasts?

Chloroplasts are primarily associated with plant cells and are crucial for photosynthesis; thus, diseases related to chloroplasts generally affect plants. One notable condition is chlorosis, where leaves produce insufficient chlorophyll, leading to yellowing and reduced photosynthetic efficiency. In addition, certain plant pathogens, such as some viruses and bacteria, can disrupt chloroplast function, resulting in stunted growth and poor plant health. While chloroplasts are not directly linked to human diseases, their dysfunction in plants can impact agriculture and food supply, indirectly affecting human health.
