Draw a neat labelled diagram of chloroplast found in leaf, and its role in photosyn-thesis.

Explanation

Role of Chloroplast hi photosynthesis:

1) Substances found in chloroplast which capture sunlight are called photosynthetic pigments.
2) There are several types of : photo-synthetic pigments in the process to produce organic molecules like glucose in plants.
3) Chlorophyll is such a pigment which contains one atom of magnesium.
4) Chlorophyll can trap the photons and convert the light energy into chemical energy .
5) During photosynthesis serveral events occur in the chloroplasts, some of them are :
a) Conversion of light energy to chemical energy.
b) Splitting of water molecule.
c) Reduction of carbon dioxide to carbohydrates.
