Chloroplasts contain many molecules of a greeen chemical, or pigment, called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll allows plant cells to make their own food , using light from the sun. Chloroplasts produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water. Chloroplasts absorb light energy for the plant to use during photosynthesis.
_____________________________________________
Found only in plants and algae, are sites of photosynthesis, They convert energy to chemical energy by absorbing and using it to drive the synthesis of organic compounds such as sugars from carbon dioxide and water. Basically just photosynthesis.
Chlorphyll absorbs most of the light that hit it to use for energy. But it cannot absorb green light - it is reflected back out of the leaf so it looks green.

What part of speech is the word chlorophyll?
The word chlorophyll is a noun. It is a group of green pigments found in the chloroplast of a plant.
Which of the cell structures illustrated controls the life functions in a cell?
The Chloroplast
What is the organelle that functions in photosynthesis?
Chloroplasts are the organelles that function in photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs light energy and converts it into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
What are the functions of chloroplasts and mitochondyia?
Chloroplast carry out photosynthesis to produce food.Mitochondria carry out respiration to produce energy.
What are the all the main functions of the chloroplast?
1. Absorb light. 2. Create carbohydrates and sugars with chlorophyll.
Which of these describes two cell structures with similar functions?
a chloroplast and a mitochondrion are alike because both make energy from sugar
Chloroplast is to energy transfer as nucleus is to?
Chloroplast is to energy transfer as nucleus is to genetic information storage and regulation. The nucleus contains the cell's DNA, which carries genes that determine an organism's traits and directs cell functions.
What makes food in plant cell?
Chloroplast
What controls the cell functions?
The nucleus More precisely the genes which may be in the nucleus or outside nucleus in the cytoplasmic cell organelles such as the chloroplast and the mitochondrion
What do chloroplast's do?
Chloroplast perform photosynthesis.
What are the functions of the cellular organellels?
the major role for organelles in a cell is to do the particular job which in turn is carried by the cell.For example chloroplast which is an organelle in plant absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.
Does paramoecium has chloroplast?
Paramecium is a heterotroph.It does not have chloroplast
Do roses have chloroplast?
every plant has chloroplast
