Detailed explanation-2: -In plants, chloroplasts are concentrated particularly in the parenchyma cells of the leaf mesophyll (the internal cell layers of a leaf).

Detailed explanation-3: -Chlorophyll is located in the thylakoid membranes in the chloroplasts, organized in a photosystem in the form of an antenna complex. In addition, they are also found in the space between the thylakoid and the chloroplast membranes referred to as the stroma.
