Green plastids that contain chlorophyll. They are responsible for photosynthesis and are found in leaf cells and green stems.
klor-o-plasts Small units within the stems and leaves of green plants which contain chlorophyll.
Small organelles found in plant cells. They contain the green pigment chlorophyll which captures solar energy from the sun and is essential for photosynthesis in plants.
Disk-like organelles with a double membrane found in eukaryotic plant cells; contain thylakoids and are the site of photosynthesis. ATP is generated during photosynthesis by chemiosmosis. PICTURE
A plastid usually found in plant cells - Contain green chlorophyll where photosynthesis takes place
