NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplasts are found in plants and algae. They’re responsible for capturing light energy to make sugars in photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts A typical plant cell contains green structures-called chloroplasts-in the cytoplasm. A chloroplast captures energy from sunlight and changes it to a form of energy that cells can use in making food. Animal cells don’t have chloroplasts, but the cells of plants and some other organisms do.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are a type of plastid-a round, oval, or disk-shaped body that is involved in the synthesis and storage of foodstuffs. Chloroplasts are distinguished from other types of plastids by their green colour, which results from the presence of two pigments, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells. It is like a solar panel that changes sunlight energy into electric energy. The entire process is called photosynthesis and it all depends on the little green chlorophyll molecules in each chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chlorophyll, a green pigment found in chloroplasts, is an important part of the light-dependent reactions. Chlorophyll soaks up the energy from sunlight. It is also the reason why plants are green. You may remember that colors are different wavelengths of light.
