NEET 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: -A chloroplast is an organelle within the cells of plants and certain algae that is the site of photosynthesis, which is the process by which energy from the Sun is converted into chemical energy for growth.

Detailed explanation-3: -A chloroplast is a green organelle which some eukaryotes, such as plants and algae, have in their cells. It is in charge of photosynthesis, the process which produces the energy which the organism needs to survive. A chloroplast uses energy from light to make sugars from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts are found only in plants and photosynthetic algae. (Humans and other animals do not have chloroplasts.) The chloroplast’s job is to carry out a process called photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Structure and Function of Chloroplasts Plant chloroplasts are large organelles (5 to 10 m long) that, like mitochondria, are bounded by a double membrane called the chloroplast envelope (Figure 10.13).
