CHLOROPLAST

FACTS

• Chloroplast is used in photosynthesis
• They have a double membrane
• Chloroplast is only in plant cells
• Chloroplast makes plants green

Chloroplast absorbs sunlight and combines it with oxygen and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant

Chloroplast captures the light and turns it into energy to produce the energy stored in ATP and NADPH through photosynthesis

CHLOROPLAST CONTAINS

• Outer membrane
• Inner membrane
• Inter membrane space
• Stroma
• Granum
• Thylakoid
• Lamella
• Lumen

OUTER,INNER,INNER MEMBRANE SPACE

• This is where biosynthesis and accumulation of lipids take place
• Has transport actions
• Regulation of metabolic organisms

STROMA

• Colorless fluid surrounding the groma
• Contains 2 stages of photosynthesis

GRANUM

• Stacks of thylakoids
• Contains chlorophyll

THYLAKOID

• A compartment inside chloroplast
• Light dependent reactions of photosynthesis
• They also harvest the light

LAMELLA

• Disc like structures in tissue
• Rensembles a plate

LUMEN

• The central cavity
• The inside space

Chloroplast makes photosynthesis happen, photosynthesis makes oxygen happen, oxygen makes breathing happen, breathing makes us happen

Without chloroplast, we would die

Chloroplast makes the world green and it makes the world beautiful

If chloroplast died, the plant would not grow and would die

Chloroplast is the base to all plants

Don't vote for lysosomes or mitochondria!!!!

Lysosomes contain hydrolisis, if this burst, the cell would die

Mitochondria is responsible for making 90% of the body's energy

When they die, we won't have energy

Vote chloroplast

It is the most needed organelle in a plant cell
