GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplast: Chloroplast is the structure in plant cells that traps light energy. It is the site of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chlorophyll is what absorbs the sun’s energy and turns it into chemical energy. Not all the light energy from the sun is absorbed. Sunlight has many different colors in it. Chlorophyll usually absorbs red and blue light from the sun and reflects green light.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts and photosynthetic bacteria obtain high-energy electrons by means of photosystems that capture the electrons that are excited when sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
