Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which answer choice best describes the function of the chloroplast and its placement?
A
The chloroplast converts light in to chemical energy to be used during the process of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are only in animal cells.
B
The chloroplast converts light in to chemical energy to be used during the process of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are only in plant cells.
C
The chloroplast converts light in to chemical energy to be used during the process of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts in plant and animal cells.
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most important function of the chloroplast is to synthesise food by the process of photosynthesis. Absorbs light energy and converts it into chemical energy. Chloroplast has a structure called chlorophyll which functions by trapping the solar energy and is used for the synthesis of food in all green plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts are plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process.

Detailed explanation-3: -The photosynthesis-conducting organelles which is the site where chlorophyll traps solar energy converting it and storing it in the energy storage molecules – NADPH and ATP are called Chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-4: -A chloroplast is a type of plastid (a saclike organelle with a double membrane) that serves as the site of photosynthesis, the process by which energy from the Sun is converted into chemical energy for growth. Chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll to absorb light energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Functions of Chloroplast They are part of the plant and algal cells. It undertakes the process of photosynthesis. Furthermore, photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into energy stored. It is the form of sugar and other organic molecules.
