Found in all green parts of the plant. They contain the green substance chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs light so the plant can make food by photosynthesis. Root cells do not have chloroplasts because they are underground and do not photosynthesis.
- Around 3-5µm long.
- Remember not all plant cells have chloroplasts.
- DO NOT CONFUSE CHLOROPLASTS WITH CHLOROPHYLL.
