 And differences: Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria, but only plant cells have chloroplasts.Mitochondria do
not take part in the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. Chloroplasts have thylakoids inside, thylakoids posses
pigments( chlorophyll, carotenoids).Aug 23, 2015

 WHAT IS CHLOROPLAST?
Chloroplast is the chemical that makes plants green and
which takes place in photosynthesis.Example: when you slip
or fall in the grass sometimes you see green chemicals on
your pants that is the chloroplast.Chloroplasts are the food
producers of the cell. The organelles are only found in plant cells and
some protist such as algae. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.
Plants are the basis of all life on Earth. They are classified as the producers of the world.
In the process of photosynthesis, plants create sugars and release oxygen (O2). The
oxygen released by the chloroplasts is the same oxygen you breathe every day.
Mitochondria work in the opposite direction. They use oxygen in the process of releasing
chemical energy from sugars.
 FACTS
[1][2]
Chloroplasts /klrplsts, -plsts/ are organelles, specialized subunits, in plant and algal cells. Their discovery inside plant cells is
usually credited to Julius von Sachs (18321897), an influential botanist and author of standard botanical textbooks sometimes called "The
Father of Plant Physiology".
Chloroplasts' main role is to conduct photosynthesis, where the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll captures the energy from sunlight and
converts it and stores it in the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH while freeing oxygen from water. They then use the ATP and
NADPH to make organic molecules from carbon dioxide in a process known as the Calvin cycle. Chloroplasts carry out a number of other
functions, including fatty acid synthesis, much amino acid synthesis, and the immune response in plants. The number of chloroplasts per cell
varies from 1 in algae up to 100 in plants like Arabidopsis and wheat.[3]

A chloroplast is one of three types of plastids, characterized by its high concentration of chlorophyll, the other two types, the leucoplast and
the chromoplast, contain little chlorophyll and do not carry out photosynthesis.
Chloroplasts are highly dynamicthey circulate and are moved around within plant cells, and occasionally pinch in two to reproduce. Their
behavior is strongly influenced by environmental factors like light color and intensity. Chloroplasts, like mitochondria, contain their own DNA,
which is thought to be inherited from their ancestora photosynthetic cyanobacterium that was engulfed by an early eukaryotic cell.
Chloroplasts cannot be made by the plant cell and must be inherited by each daughter cell during cell division.
