Detailed explanation-1: -A chloroplast is an organelle within the cells of plants and certain algae that is the site of photosynthesis, which is the process by which energy from the Sun is converted into chemical energy for growth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplast is an organelle found in the leaves of green plants. They are found in a plant cell. What are the two main functions of chloroplasts? The two main functions of chloroplasts are to produce food (glucose) during photosynthesis, and to store food energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are disc-shaped organelles found in the cytosol of a cell. They have outer and inner membranes with an intermembrane space between them.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chlorophyll is located in a plant’s chloroplasts, which are tiny structures in a plant’s cells. This is where photosynthesis takes place.

Detailed explanation-5: -In plants and algae, which developed much later, photosynthesis occurs in a specialized intracellular organelle-the chloroplast. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis during the daylight hours.
