Which cells have chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and some algae cells.
-
How are chloroplasts structured?
Chloroplasts are double-membrane organelles found in plant cells that contain their own DNA and ribosomes. They have a fluid-filled interior called the stroma, where the process of photosynthesis takes place. Within the stroma are stacks of thylakoid membranes called grana, which contain chlorophyll and other pigments that capture light energy. The thylakoid membranes are where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur, producing ATP and NADPH. Overall, the structure of chloroplasts is highly specialized for the process of photosynthesis, allowing plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.
-
What are mitochondria and chloroplasts?
Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in the cells of eukaryotic organisms, responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. They have their own DNA and are thought to have originated from ancient bacteria through endosymbiosis. Chloroplasts are also membrane-bound organelles found in plant cells and some protists, responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which they convert sunlight into energy-rich molecules like glucose. Like mitochondria, chloroplasts also have their own DNA and are believed to have originated from ancient photosynthetic bacteria through endosymbiosis.
-
Can humans also have chloroplasts?
No, humans cannot have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. Humans do not have chloroplasts because they do not undergo photosynthesis. Instead, humans rely on the consumption of plants and other organisms to obtain the energy they need for survival.

History, Culture & Architecture Tour of Edinburgh
Experience Days Tours: This three-hour guided walking tour of Edinburgh will fascinate discerning sightseers. Led by descendants of one of the city’s most influential families, it’s a chance to explore the unique history, culture and architecture of the Royal Mile and Old Town.Tours begin outside Usher Hall on Lothian Road, a building of special significance to your guides Stuart and Richard. It was their ancestor Andrew Usher, a successful 19th century whisky distiller, whose donation of £100,000 funded the new concert hall’s construction! After a brief introduction, they’ll lead you on a three-hour stroll through Edinburgh’s historic Old Town, pausing at various landmarks along the way. These will include the city’s oldest surviving building, Queen Margaret’s Chapel; Edinburgh Castle, St. Giles’ Cathedral, Princes Street Gardens, the National Galleries of Scotland, and many more. Together, these will tell the story of a city built on centuries of struggle and shaped by remarkable characters. Follow in the footsteps of leaders, writers, philosophers, bodysnatchers, witches and a faithful Skye terrier—and leave feeling enlightened when the tour concludes!The History, Culture & Architecture Tour of Edinburgh promises a fascinating few hours for curious visitors, and Experience Days vouchers make thoughtful gifts for history buffs. If you’re planning a trip to Auld Reekie, why not treat your travelling companion today!

How are chloroplasts and plastids formed?
Chloroplasts and plastids are formed through a process called biogenesis, which involves the replication of existing organelles. They are believed to have originated from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria that were engulfed by a eukaryotic cell. Over time, these cyanobacteria evolved into chloroplasts and plastids, developing a symbiotic relationship with the host cell. This process allowed for the transfer of genetic material between the organelles and the host cell, leading to the formation of chloroplasts and plastids as we know them today.
-
What are the functions of chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells. Their main function is to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which serves as the primary source of energy for the plant. Chloroplasts also contain chlorophyll, the green pigment that gives plants their color and is essential for the absorption of light during photosynthesis. Additionally, chloroplasts are involved in the synthesis of other important molecules, such as amino acids and lipids, and play a role in the regulation of cellular metabolism.
-
Why do chloroplasts have a double membrane?
Chloroplasts have a double membrane because they are believed to have originated from a process called endosymbiosis, where a eukaryotic cell engulfed a photosynthetic prokaryote. The double membrane likely represents the original prokaryotic cell's plasma membrane and the membrane of the vesicle that engulfed it. This double membrane structure helps protect the chloroplast's internal structures and allows for compartmentalization of different metabolic processes within the organelle.
-
In which leaf cells are chloroplasts located?
Chloroplasts are located in the mesophyll cells of the leaf. Mesophyll cells are the main site of photosynthesis in the leaf, and they contain numerous chloroplasts, which are responsible for capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. The chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll, which gives leaves their green color and is essential for the absorption of light energy.
