Chlorophyll is a green chemical inside chloroplasts. It carries out photosynthesis, which makes energy for a plant using sunlight. In fact, when you get a grass stain on your clothes, the green stuff is chlorophyll.

∙ 6y agoChloroplasts 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.

What are three specialized functions
What makes desmids green?
because of the presence of chlorphyll!! im so dumb
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.
What is the organelle that functions in photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplast, generally storage granules or vesicles does the nutrient storage function.
What are the functions of the structures within the chloroplast?
Chloroplast allow plants to capture energy from sunlight.
Which of the cell structures illustrated controls the life functions in a cell?
The Chloroplast
What are the functions of chloroplasts and mitochondyia?
Chloroplast carry out photosynthesis to produce food.Mitochondria carry out respiration to produce energy.
What functions to convert light energy to chemical energy that is stored in the chemical bonds of glucose or starch?
Chloroplast
What are the parts of the elodea leaf and what are the functions of the parts?
cell wall nucleus chloroplast central vacuole cytoplasm
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
Compare the functions of mitochondria and chloroplasts in cells?
mitochondria was a power house of the cells and chloroplast is the green thing that make the photosynthesis
Why are cell walls and chloroplasts present in plant cells?
For the cell wall, it is present in the plant because it functions is to keep the cell its shape. Example: leaf - it has its shape because it has cell wall. For the chloroplast, it is present in the plant cell because it functions is to trap sunlight for the plant to photosynthesize. Example: leaf - it makes food for the plant with the help of the chloroplast
Glucose is made inside this structure?
Glucose is made inside the cell and particularly in the chloroplast for plants. Glucose serves as energy for most of the functions of a cell.
What makes food in plant cell?
Chloroplast
