AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell. The organelles are only found in plant cells and some protists such as algae. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color, and it helps plants create their own food through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -All plastids, including chloroplasts, develop from proplastids, small (0.5 to 1 m in diameter) undifferentiated organelles present in the rapidly dividing cells of plant roots and shoots. Proplastids then develop into the various types of mature plastids according to the needs of differentiated cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplast is a plastid containing green pigment called chlorophyll. This pigment helps the cells to prepare its own food by the process of photosynthesis, So thats why Chloroplast is the cell organelle which is known as Kitchen of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -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].
