Chloroplasts
Chloroplasts are a part of a plant's cell. They capture energy from light.
1,379 Questions
How do plant cells need both chloroplasts and mitochondria?
Chloroplasts are for photosynthesis.Mitochondria are for respiration.
Where is most of the chlorophyll located in the plant?
The uppermost surface of a plant's leaves is where most chloroplasts are located, because that is where the sunlight will shine on them.
Why do chloroplasts have a range of pigments?
Different pigments respond to different wavelengths of visible light.
What helps chloroplast to do its job?
Chloroplasts are organelles that contain pigments used in photosynthesis.Chloroplasts absorb light and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide to produce sugars.
it helps in absorbing solar energy to prepare food (photosynthesis)
The thylakoid membrane is highly folded to allow for many photosynthetic reactions to occur at once (much like the mitochondria).
Which region contain greatest number of chloroplast in a plant?
The region of a dicot leaf where most of the chlosoplast is found is in the palisade mesophyll because this is where the sunlight gets trapped so most the chlorophyll need to be present here so that photosynthesis can occur.
What would happen to an animal with chloroplast in its cells?
Plastids are only found in plant cells. They are a part of the photosynthesis process. They are not found in the cells of animals.
What is the function of chloroplast found in the cells of plants leaves?
The function of chloroplasts in leaves are to capture the light's energy for use in photosynthesis. For further information, access this web page:

How are chlorophyll and chloroplasts related and where are found?
Chloroplasts make the energy in sugar form by using photosynthesis and the product that come out is C_6H_12O_6 with the by product of O_2 and then the sugar is transported to mitochondria which then uses sugar to make ATP, which is the energy that our cells need to use in order to make protein.
Why is chloroplasts found mostly in leaves of plants?
Leaves get sunlight well. They are adopted for this
Would you expect to find chloroplasts in a liver cell?
no, unless it gets exposed to the sun in which case it will start growing and develop chloroplasts
The presence of a double membrane in chloroplasts, similar to that in prokaryotic cells, is a characteristic that suggests they may have evolved from free-living bacteria. Additionally, chloroplasts contain their own circular DNA, similar to bacteria, and replicate independently within the cell.
Which process ocurs in the chloroplast of plant cells?
Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells. They are the organelles primarily responsible for photosynthesis, the conversion of light energy to chemical energy as fuel for the plant.
What is stored in chloroplast?

ang mga katanungan niyo ay masusulusyunan
hahahahaha!
crush you carl ♥and laurean ♥What part of the HUMAN BODY collects sunlight?
No there is no such part. Human are not photosynthetic
Why is chloroplast so important to plant cells?
If there werd no chloroplasts, there would have no photosynthesis and if there were no photosynthsis there would't have life for plants to make food to survive.
Why don't spongy cells have as many chloroplasts?
Because it contains air spaces that help regulate gas exchange in leaves.
How does mitocondra and chloroplast work to gether?
Since the mitochondrial produces Carbon dioxide and water the chloroplast takes those products and makes sugar and oxygen, which those two products are taken by the mitochondrial to produce its products.
This diagram will clarify more:
Chloroplast gives=sugar+oxygen
Sugar+oxygen goes to mitochondrial
Mitochondriall gives= carbon dioxide +water
Carbon + water goes to chloroplast
Is a green pigment found in plant cells is called?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants. Chlorophyll is found in cyanobacteria and it is found in the chloroplasts of plants and algae.
Why are chloroplasts not ordinarily visible in an unstained onion cell?
1. Because the chloroplasts that actually photosynthesize are found in the tops of the onions - the part that is actually above ground. There's no reason for there to be chlorophyll in the onion skin itself because these grow underground
How many times is chloroplast larger than mitochondria?
This is a relatively complicated question as the exact origins of mitochondria and how they came to be included in eukaryotic cells is still under investigation and therefore open to debate.
Everyone seems to agree though, that they originally come from bacterium and that they were assimilated into eukaryotic cells either because they were useful or through some form of symbiosis.
As mitochondria are common to both plant and animal cells it could therefore be argued that they shared a common ancestor at some point in evolution.
The inclusion of the chloroplast came later, and a separate line of mitochondrial and chloroplast carrying cells evolved - eventually becoming plants. The line without the chloroplast becoming animals.
Is a chloroplast unique to plant cells?
No, chloroplast is not a unicellular organism because it is not an organism. It is an organelle that can be found in unicellular or multicellular organisms.
How does fungi survive without a chloroplast?
Animal cells doesn't need any Chloroplast to live because all the nutritions, Protins,Oxygen and other substance are carried by blood.So, Like plant cells animal cell don't need any chloroplast to survive
