Chloroplasts need sunlight for function. Root hairs do not get sun light
A stack of thylakoids is called a stroma.
Dark reactions take place in the stroma of the plant cell.
Humans are heterotrophic and feed from other organisms. They do not carry out photosynthesis, which is the function of chloroplasts. Plants need chloroplasts as they are autotrophic (i.e. they produce their own food using sunlight).
The grana(sing. granum) of the chloroplasts trap the light. To be more precise, the chlorophyll pigment present in the thyllakoids which make up grana traps the light.
The carbon dioxide goes into the stoma which is located at the bottom of the leaf and water comes from the soil which is captured by the root hair cells, travels up the xylem and into the palisade layer where itmeets the carbon dioxide and then photosynthesis takes place.
the function of chlorophyll pigments is trapping the sun's energy and using it for nutrients. this production is called photosynthesis. it also gives the plant the green colour that it carries when photosynthesis is in progress. usually you can start to see this production in spring when the sun comes out more often.
The green colored chemical that traps light is called Chlorophyll.

Chloroplasts of different plants absorb different wavelengths, but usually regions within the Visible light band are used.
I'm not sure about chloroplasts, but with mitochondria evolutionary history has led biolgists to believe that the mitochondria now present in eukaryotic cells to have originated a couple billion years ago when a very basic eukaryotic cell injested (ate) a bacterial cell. Then, instead of digesting it for food, the bacterial cell just stayed inside and functioned with the eukaryotic cell. The evidence for this lies in the structure, genetic information (mitochondria have their own DNA and replicate separately) and proteins present. This is why it could be considered a cell (bacterial), because it, at one point in history, was an actual bacterial cell.
i think the above answer is a little misleading to the question. so my answer is mitochondria and chloroplast are not considered cells or bacteria. bacteria is a cell and mitochondria and chloroplasts can be found in cells (plant and animal cells, not bacteria cells).
The Answers community requested more information for this question. Please edit your question to include more context. You haven't given any equation.
Chloroplasts are disc-shaped to provide a large surface area to absorb light. They are also located close to the surface of the leaf to capture maximum light, located near to veins for easy water diffusion and are small in size to enable them be packed in a small space.
Spirogyra is a type of green algae, named for the spiral arrangement of the chloroplasts. The arrangement of the chloroplasts are helical or spiral.
Heat (often from a microscope light) causes the plant cells to warm up, causing the chloroplast to gather energy from the heat to make food. Chloroplasts also contain the cell's chlorophyll(a green pigment, present in all green plants), which provides the green color of the plant.
Doode. Like people need to start answering these question because like I dont know the answers at all.
Chloroplast works by capturing energy from the sun to make food for a plant. Chloroplast is not in animals. Chloroplast is green. I hope that answers ur?
Chloroplasts convert sunlight into chemical energy. Animal cells do not need these because they gain their food from other sources besides sunlight.
First take five easter eggs then, push them into a 2 liter soda bottle. Make sure they are blue!
its called photosynthesis. It occurs when the plant takes light and carbon dioxide and uses water and chlorophyll to make glucose(food) and oxygen.
