Cell Biology/Print version Introduction. Both mitochondria and chloroplasts have inner and outer membranes, their own DNA, and divide prior to cell division. Mitochondria, found in all eukaryotic cells, are the sites of aerobic respiration. Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis in plants and algae. 1  Mitochondria-Membranous organelle in which aerobic cellular respiration produces the energy carrier ATP. 2  Chloroplasts-Membranous organelle that contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis.

Which of the following organelles converts sunlight to chemical energy during photosynthesis? B. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts absorb light and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide to produce sugars, the raw material for energy and biomass production in all green plants and the animals that depend on them, directly or indirectly, for food.

Chloroplast: Structure and Function Chloroplasts are the site for photosynthesis, which comprises a set of light-dependent and light-independent reactions to harness solar energy and convert it into chemical energy. In addition to this the components of chloroplast participate in several regulatory functions of the cell as well as in photorespiration. detailed account of the structure and functions of chloroplasts has been provided below. Chloroplasts are located in the parenchyma cells of plants as well as in autotrophic algae. They are oval-shaped organelles having a diameter of 2 - 10 µm and a thickness of 1 - 2 µm.

Chloroplast Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant. Chloroplasts capture light energy from the sun to produce the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH through a process called photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis In plants, these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts, which are most abundant in leaf cells, while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane. In these light-dependent reactions, some energy is used to strip electrons from suitable substances, such as water, producing oxygen gas.

Chloroplasts and Mitochondria Plants use photosynthesis to create their own food and then use cellular respiration to turn their food into energy (ATP!). Photosynthetic cells are found mainly in the leaves of plants and each cell may have thousands of chloroplasts. QUESTIONS: 1.hloroplast Structure BIG IDEA: Plant cells and some algae contain an organelle called the chloroplast. The chloroplast allows plants to harvest energy from sunlight to carry on a process known as Photosynthesis.

- Leaf Anatomy: In most plants, the primary organ in which photosynthesis occurs is the leaf. In your experiment today, you will eventually be using portions of leaves to test hypotheses about photosynthesis. First we will examine leaf anatomy. With a microscope, examine a prepared slide of a cross-section of a leaf.
