Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these is not a function of chloroplast?
A
Helps the plant produce amino acid
B
Holds water
C
Help the plant fight off disese
D
Help induce photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplasts produce energy through photosynthesis and oxygen-release processes, which sustain plant growth and crop yield. As such, chloroplasts are responsible for the biosynthesis of active compounds such as amino acids, phytohormones, nucleotides, vitamins, lipids, and secondary metabolites [9].

Detailed explanation-2: -The chloroplast is involved in both stages of photosynthesis. The light reactions take place in the thylakoid. There, water (H2O) is oxidized, and oxygen (O2) is released. The electrons that freed from the water are transferred to ATP and NADPH.

Detailed explanation-3: -Do chloroplasts store water? Yes, chloroplasts do contain water. They use the electrons from water and light energy from the sun to perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a two-stage process and Chloroplast has been known to be involved in both types of stages; The light Reaction stage and the Dark reaction stage.

Detailed explanation-4: -A chloroplast is a type of plastid (a saclike organelle with a double membrane) that contains chlorophyll to absorb light energy.
