They carry out photosynthesis. Plants are autotrophs (self-feeders) that is, they are able to produce their own organic molecules, from inorganic materials, via photosynthesis. Chloroplasts were originally bacteria, that were engulfed - but not fully digested - by an ancient eukaryote. Since that time there has been a symbiotic relationship between the bacterium and its host. By now, neither is viable without the other anymore.
What else can I help you with?
What organelle contains chlorophyll?
Chloroplasts are the organelles that contain chlorophyll in plant cells. Chlorophyll is a pigment that plays a key role in the process of photosynthesis, where it captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy.
What kind of cells are plant cells?
All plant cells are eukaryotic cells
How is animals cells different from plant cells?
Animal cells have lysosomes, plant cells don't. Plant cells have a cell wall made out of cellulose, animal cells don't. Animal cells have many small vacuoles, plant cells have one large vacuole. Plant cells have chloroplasts and chlorophyll, animal cells don't. Animal cells have centrioles, plant cells don't.
All plant cells contain chloroplast?
Yes, all plant cells have chloroplasts. Plant cells are the only cells that have chloroplasts, actually. No- Most Cells of Plant Roots do not!
Which structure is not unique to plant cells?
The nucleus is a structure not unique to plant cells.
What organelle contains chlorophyll?
Chloroplasts are the organelles that contain chlorophyll in plant cells. Chlorophyll is a pigment that plays a key role in the process of photosynthesis, where it captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy.
Why are chloropasts not present in animals?
Chloropasts are only found in plants because, they have colors that absorb sunlight and animals don't. Chloropasts use energy from the Sun to make food and animals don't.
In what type of cells do choloroplast take place?
Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells. They contain the green pigment called chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight. The chloroplasts use the sunlight energy to make food (sugar) for the plant. Chloroplasts are found mainly in the leaf cells in plants. Cells in the top half of the leaf, called palisade cells, have many chloroplasts. Cells in the bottom half of the leaf, called spongy cells, have fewer chloroplasts. Not all plant cells contain chloroplasts. For example cells inside the stem, and root cells, usually lack chloroplasts. Also the 'skin' cells (epidermis) on the leaves do not contain chloropasts.

Chloroplasts are found in what types of cells?
Plant cells, not animal cells.
What cells are involve in photosynthesis?
Chloroplasts within plant cells are primarily responsible for photosynthesis. These specialized organelles contain chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs light energy for the photosynthetic process. Other cells, like mesophyll cells in leaves, also play a role in photosynthesis by providing a platform for chloroplasts to carry out the process.
Why are chloropasts present in animals?
Chloroplasts are not present in animals, from what I know.
Does a lichen have plant cells or animal cells?
Plant cells.
What Plant cells have?
Plant cells do not have centrioles, but animal cells do.
What kind of cells are plant cells?
All plant cells are eukaryotic cells
What are skin and plant cells?
they are cells in a plant.
What kind of cells are there in a plant?
Plant Cells
How is animals cells different from plant cells?
Animal cells have lysosomes, plant cells don't. Plant cells have a cell wall made out of cellulose, animal cells don't. Animal cells have many small vacuoles, plant cells have one large vacuole. Plant cells have chloroplasts and chlorophyll, animal cells don't. Animal cells have centrioles, plant cells don't.
