Question

What is chloroplast

Open in App
Solution

A chloroplast is a structure in a plant cell that contains large amounts of chlorophyll. Chloroplasts play a key role in the process of photosynthesis and convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy (carbohydrates) for the plant.

Although not all cells in a plant contain chloroplasts, they are contained in all green parts of a plant. The chlorophyll found inside of the chloroplast is what gives a plant its green color.
