Definition

  • Chloroplasts are organelles that conduct photosynthesis, where the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll captures the energy from sunlight. Their behavior is strongly influenced by environmental factors like light color and intensity. Chloroplasts play an important role in the carbon cycle, by transforming atmospheric carbon into organic carbon.
