What are the functions of the chloroplast?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.
