The Structure and Function of Chloroplasts
A chloroplast is one of the cell constituents collectively known as organelles. Chloroplasts are found only in plants, using the word plant
in its broadest sense.
Chloroplasts are food-making factories. In these organelles, the energy of sunlight is captured and transformed. The energy thus acquired powers the synthesis of glucose from carbon dioxide and water.
Because chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll, the tissues containing chlorophyll have a greenish color. A good example is the leaf of an oak or maple tree.
According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the typical chloroplast is a spheroid about 5000 nanometers long and 2,500 nanometers thick. Other sources give variant figures, but this gives you a general idea concerning their size and shape. Since a nanometer is one billionths of a meter, these organelles are extremely small.
The Covering of the Chloroplast
According to Biology
by Campbell, Reece, and Mitchell, chloroplasts are surrounded by an envelope consisting of two membranes separated by a very narrow intermembrane space.
Important components in each of these two membranes are phospholipids and
