Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is a chloroplast
A
a shark
B
A structure in a plat cell that creates a process called photosynthesis
C
part of a nucleolus
D
energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In plants and algae, which developed much later, photosynthesis occurs in a specialized intracellular organelle-the chloroplast. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis during the daylight hours. The immediate products of photosynthesis, NADPH and ATP, are used by the photosynthetic cells to produce many organic molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts are plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process. By doing so, they sustain life on Earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -“Chloroplast is an organelle that contains the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll that captures sunlight and converts it into useful energy, thereby, releasing oxygen from water.

Detailed explanation-4: -The chloroplast is a unique structure found only in plant cells! It’s where sunlight is converted into food and energy for the plant, which is a process called photosynthesis. Chloroplasts tend to be disk-shaped, but they can also look like stars. They are also green!

Detailed explanation-5: -A chloroplast is a structure in a plant cell that contains large amounts of chlorophyll. Chloroplasts play a key role in the process of photosynthesis and convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy (carbohydrates) for the plant.
