- 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.
