Chloroplast Research Paper
Chloroplasts
Chloroplasts are food producers of the cell and they make the plant green. They are organelles found in plant cells and animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Also, they have a eukaryotic alga that conducts photosynthesis. In a plant cell there can be anywhere from 10 to 100 chloroplasts in one cell. They are approximately 4 to 6 cm in diameter and shaped like a satellite dish with the concave face forward toward the light. Also, they are similar to mitochondria but mitochondria works in the opposite direction and break down the sugars and nutrients that the cell receives. Inside chloroplasts there are three types of membranes. The first membrane is the outer membrane. This membrane is smooth, and freely permeable to molecules.
