Chloroplasts contain a green substance called chlorophyll. This reacts in the presence of light to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose (and oxygen - a waste product of photosynthesis). This is one of the parts of the cell.
Plants need sunshine to carry out photosynthesis.
yes plants need photosynthesis to survive, plants make their own food in the form of sugars
Plants need chlorophyll because that is what allows them to convert sunlight to energy they can use in their metabolism. People do not use chlorophyll, and so don't have it, because as animals we do not convert sunlight directly to energy. We eat plants, or other animals that eat plants, and use their energy.
Sort of. Chloroplast has chlorophyll stored in it and that is usually in plants. Many plants have protein but to answer your question, you need to be more specific. Check out the Wikipedia article for details. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroplast
Plants need water in order to perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis = Water + Carbondioxide+Light -----> Oxygen + Carbohydrate Plants need to breakdown H2O molcules in order to make ATP and carry out cellular funtions. Plants need water for similar reasons that people do....except that people don't carry out photosynthesis.

photosynthesis
Plants need sunshine to carry out photosynthesis.
Plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to carry out photosynthesis effectively.
to store energy
no. Chloroplasts are only in plant cells. chloroplasts are what makes the plant green.
The chloroplast converts sunlight into molecules and energy the cell can use.
plants that's it.

Plants contain chloroplasts with chlorophyll, which allows them to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy. Animals do not have chloroplasts and lack the necessary cellular machinery to carry out photosynthesis. Instead, animals obtain energy by consuming other organisms.
Plants use the energy from sunlight to carry out photosynthesis.
Plants need chlorophyll because that is what allows them to convert sunlight to energy they can use in their metabolism. People do not use chlorophyll, and so don't have it, because as animals we do not convert sunlight directly to energy. We eat plants, or other animals that eat plants, and use their energy.
