Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following cells contain chloroplasts?
A
Animal
B
Plant
C
Fungal
D
Bacterial
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The plant cells which contain chloroplasts are mostly parenchyma cells but also collenchyma tissue have some chloroplasts. A plant cell which contains chloroplasts is typically called a chlorenchyma cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -In plants, chloroplasts are concentrated particularly in the parenchyma cells of the leaf mesophyll (the internal cell layers of a leaf).

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are found in the cells of all green and algal tissues. Chloroplasts can also be found in non-green photosynthetic tissues, such as the brown blades of gigantic kelp or the red leaves of certain plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Palisade cells are found in the mesophyll of a leaf and their primary function is light absorption for photosynthesis to occur. The palisade mesophyll is made up of chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll and absorb light energy. Thus, the Palisade tissue of the leaf contains chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis.
