TRANSCRIPT
Chloroplastskloros - green plastos - formed
• Endosymbiosis Theory - Came from Prokaryotes• Only Found in Plant Cells & Some Protists – Algae• Reproduce through Cell Division• Organelle – Pigment Containing Plastid• Capture light energy to produce food for the cell.• Create their own food by making sugars & starches.
Main FunctionPHOTOSYNTHESIS
Photosynthesis Converts carbon dioxide & water into glucose and oxygen.
CO2 + Water Sugar + Oxygen
Chlorophyll - Pigments in thylakoids.Traps sunlight and gives plants green color.
Generate ATP - Adenosine Triphosphate
Power transport across cell membranes and movement of cells.
