Organelles found mostly in plants cells (and some protists) which help convert solar energy into chemical energy.
They are composed of an aqueous fluid known as stroma, thylakoid disks that are stacked to form grana, and light-absorbing pigments including chlorophyll and carotenoids.
Microscopic, ellipsoidal organelle in a green plant cell. It is the site ofphotosynthesis. It is distinguished by its green colour, caused by the presence of chlorophyll. It contains disk-shaped structures called thylakoids that make possible the formation of ATP, an energy-rich storage compound.
The word chloroplast is derived from the Greek words chloros, which means green, and plastis, which means "the one who forms".
chloroplast is the one who conducts photosynthesis (use sun to produce sugar)
Chloroplasts are small green dots found in plant cells, that make the plant green and also responsible about photosynthesis
(in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.

What cell structure is the site of photosynthesis?
chloroplasts hope this helped santiago Chloroplasts
What organelle convert solar energy into glucose and oxygen?
Chloroplasts
Do nitrogen fixing bacteria have chloroplasts?
No bacteria have chloroplasts. Plants have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts were originally cyanobacteria -- they are the results of an endosymbiosis between a cyanobacterium and a eukaryote.
Where is the thylakiod located in a cell?
The chloroplasts
What color are chloroplasts?
chloroplasts are usually light green or either dark green
Are chloroplasts related to chlorophyll?
Yes they are related. Chlorophylls are in chloroplasts
What would happen to a plant if its chloroplasts stopped working?
Chloroplasts are doing photosynthesis. They will die if chloroplasts are not working.
What would happen if you did not have chloroplasts?
Well humans do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts only show up in plant cells as chloroplasts are for obtaining energy from sunlight through photosynthesis. No animal is able to do this as chloroplasts are not present in animal cells.
What are three types of organisms that possess chloroplasts?
Plants and algae have chloroplasts in kingdom eukariya.Prokariyotes lacks chloroplasts in them.
What parts of a plant have cells with chloroplasts in them?
The leaves are the only cells which contain chloroplasts, as an objective of the leaf is to absorb sunlight, which is exactly what the chloroplasts, or more specifically the chlorophyll in the chloroplasts do. The chloroplasts themselves are the organelles in which photosynthesis takes place.
Does penguins have chloroplasts?
Penguins are animal type.They do not have chloroplasts.
What is the plural of chloroplast?
The plural of chloroplast is chloroplasts. As in "these are the chloroplasts".
