Meaning
Chloroplasts are a part of some cells that uses photosynthesis to make food for the cell.
About Chloroplasts
- Chloroplasts are found in many plant cells and in Euglena.
- Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll which allows it to perform photosynthesis.
- The Chloroplast is where photosynthesis takes place in a plant.
- Some specialised plant cells do not have chloroplasts, such as Root Hair Cells. This is because they are are underground so they don't get any light for photosynthesis.
Key Stage 4
A green organelle found in plant cells that contains chlorophyll and makes food for the plant by photosynthesis.
