The two main functions of chloroplast is to conduct photosynthesis and to carry out functions like fatty acid and amino acid synthesis.
A chloroplast is a type of membrane-bound organelle known as a plastid that conducts photosynthesis mostly in plant and algal cells.
A chloroplast is an organelle within the cells of plants and certain algae that is the site of photosynthesis, which is the process by which energy from the Sun is converted into chemical energy for growth.
The chloroplast, found only in algal and plant cells, is a cell organelle that produces energy through photosynthesis.
It has a high concentration of chlorophyll, the molecule that captures light energy, and this gives many plants and algae a green color.
Photosynthetic cells contain special pigments that absorb light energy.
In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll.
Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane and contain a third inner membrane, called the thylakoid membrane, that forms long folds within the organelle.
They are responsible to carry out photosynthesis, the process of conversion of light energy into sugar and other organic molecules that are used by plants or algae as food.
They also produce amino acids and lipid components that are necessary for chloroplast membrane production.
