Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The chloroplast contains a pigment called ____
A
Thylakoid
B
Granulum
C
Chlorophyll
D
ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll, the primary pigment used in photosynthesis, reflects green light and absorbs red and blue light most strongly. In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-2: -Green plants have the ability to make their own food. They do this through a process called photosynthesis, which uses a green pigment called chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-3: -What makes a leaf green is chlorophyll, the green pigment located within the chloroplasts. More specifically, chlorophyll resides in the thylakoid membranes. The chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight, and it is this energy that drives the synthesis of food molecules in the chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-4: -The thylakoids of chloroplasts are flattened vesicles arranged as a membranous network within the stroma. Chlorophyll is present in the thylakoids. It provides green colour to the plants and helps in photosynthesis.
