Ecco perché:
* cloroplasti contenere clorofilla , il pigmento verde che assorbe l'energia luminosa dal sole. Questa energia luminosa è essenziale per la fotosintesi.
* cloroplasti also have a complex internal structure with membranes that house the enzymes and molecules necessary for the light-dependent and light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.
While other parts of the plant cell play important roles in the overall life of the plant, the chloroplast is the specific location where the process of photosynthesis takes place.
