Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the main function of the chloroplasts in a plant cell?
A
They produce proteins.
B
They store water and food.
C
They perform photosynthesis.
D
They protect cells from the surrounding environment.
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: -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: -The most important function of the chloroplast is to synthesise food by the process of photosynthesis. Absorbs light energy and converts it into chemical energy. Chloroplast has a structure called chlorophyll which functions by trapping the solar energy and is used for the synthesis of food in all green plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Function of Chloroplasts They are responsible to carry out photosynthesis, the process of conversion of light energy into sugar and other organic molecules that are used by plants or algae as food. They also produce amino acids and lipid components that are necessary for chloroplast membrane production.
