Chloroplasts
Chloroplasts are a part of a plant's cell. They capture energy from light.

Do carnivorous plants have chloroplasts?
Yes, the Venus fly-trap plant does have chloroplasts; even though it also eats insects it still produces food the way other green plants do, by photosynthesis.
What is the green pigment that is found in plants?
Chlorophyll in chloroplasts is responsible for the green pigment. The chlorophyll reflects green light.
Do both animal and plant cells have a chloroplast?
The purpose of chloroplasts is to create chlorophyll in a plant. Animals don't need to create chlorophyll so they don't have any chloroplasts in their cells.
Why do plant cells also need chloroplasts and mitochondria?
Chloroplasts are very important.They are responsible for photosynthesis.Mitochondria are important for respiration.
Why are chloroplasts present only in a plant cell not in an animal cell?
The chloroplast helps with photosynthesis (making the plant green). The cell wall covers the chloroplast cell. Animals don't need to turn light into food (photosynthesis) so they don't need the cell wall and the chloroplast. Animal cells do not have a cell wall because, if we had cell walls then we would stand straight up and it would be like our spine couldn't bend.
What chloroplast and mitochondria contain their own genetic information in form of?
Both chloroplasts and mitochondria have their own sets of chromosomes composed of DNA.
Why do human cells don't contain chloroplasts?
Animals dont have chlorolplasts because one we are not plants and two we have evolved in a way that we never needed to perform photosynthisis our cells make enough ATP with the mitocondria already.
In what organ of a plant would you find chloroplasts?
A plant's chloroplasts are found in the plant cells.Trust me, this answer is correct.I'm doing science homework right now and i saw this question.I had this question about a month ago because i had a project.Believe me,it's right.I'm looking at it right now in my book.
Do photosynthetic plants have mitochondria and chloroplasts?
Almost all plants have mitochondria. Plants use these mitochondria to release the energy from the glucose that is stored inside them (The glucose is obtained via Photosynthesis).
The light dependent reactions take place inside chloroplast in stacks of?
Grana are stacks of thylakoids.
The parts of a chloroplast that holds chlorophyll are called?
I'm pretty sure the thylakoids in the chloroplasts probably hold in the energy for the plant. That's what I think. Sorry, I'm just a 7th grade student looking for what you're looking for.

How are solar panels and chloroplasts similar?
Solar Cells and chloroplasts are similar by absorbing the energy of the sun. Then it changes into energy, which powers the house electricity.
A chloroplast is a miniature "solar collector," transforming light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. The green color of the disks is due to the presence of a pigment called chlorophyll that reacts with light.
they both make plants live
so that people know hoe solar energy has been used.
How many chloroplasts are present in a leaf?
There is no exact number.There are thousands of chloroplasts.
Why can't plants live without chloroplasts?
There are some plants that have foresaken the use of chlorplasts by resorting to a life as a decomposure, that is living off of the decaying remains of other living things. One such a plant is 'Dead Man's fingers'. Predacious plants (Venus Fly-trap, Sundew, Bladder-wort, Pitcher Plant) could conceivably do without sunlight as an energy source and take to living solely off of the prey they catch. However none of them have abandoned their photosynthesis just yet - after all if the energy is there why not take advantage of it. Other energy source a plant could conceivably abandon light for would be heat and chemical sources - however these are already heavily exploited by bacteria and Archea and a plant would be hard pressed to invaded into realms already claimed by the worlds most efficent organisms.
What household object represents chloroplast?
They may be hard to find, but solar panels are the equivalent of chloroplasts. They make energy out of sunlight, and they're mostly green.
What reaction takes places in the thylakoid disc of the chloroplast?
Light reaction takes place. The first step of photosynthesis
What contains chlorophyll that changes sunlight into food?
The leaves of plants, that's why their green.
Do fungus have chloroplast or not?
No. Chloroplasts are only present in plants and some protists. Chloroplasts make plants autotrophic by allowing producing their own food, whereas fungi are heterotrophic, where they release enzymes to break down nutrients from the environment and absorb that broken down food. No
What structure does the chloroplast contain that is responsible for photosynthesis?
Chlorophylls, in the thylakoid membranes, and the stroma of chloroplasts.
Yes, chloroplasts do store energy. If you want more info, the following website may help: http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell_chloroplast.html
What form of energy is absorbed my the chloroplast?
Chlorophyll absorbs certain wave lengths of light in the transference of heat driving the plants osmosis and cell building activities.
Why do some cells not have chloroplasts?
There can be differing reason why a cell might not have a nucleus depending on the type of the cell.
- Certain eukaryotic cells such as red blood cells are made from a pluripotency in the red bone marrow, and are designed to not contain nucleus. Consequently, the red blood cells cannot undergo mitosis or cytokinesis, and lasts for about 100 to 120 days. During these days, the cell is fully devoted to transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide to the rest of the body.
- Bacterial cells naturally do not contain nucleus, nor any membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes are simpler than eukaryotic cells and their genes are contained within the nucleoid region.
