1 Chloroplasts Pete Tarby Kelley Thornton

2 Chloroplasts kloros - 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.

3 Main Function PHOTOSYNTHESIS Photosynthesis Converts carbon dioxide & water into glucose and oxygen. CO 2 + 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.

4 CHLOROPLASTS

5 STRUCTURES Inner & Outer membrane Absorb & Transport Sunlight & energy Thylakoid Membrane Contains Chlorophyll Grana Granum Stacked membranes of thylakoids Thylakoids Light capturing disc shaped photosynthetic pigments 100 + Stroma Metabolic enzymes Convert CO2 to Carbohydrates Ribosome DNA

9 LIVERWORT CHLOROPLASTS

10 DISC SHAPED CHLOROPLASTS

11 DISEASES Tobacco Mosaic Turnip Mosaic Virus Virus

12 DISEASES Tomato Bushy Stunt Disease

13 The following structures can be found in the chloroplast….. a. thylakoid, DNA, crista, granum b. granum, thylakoid, stroma, DNA c. cellulose, grana, thylakoid, stroma d. granum, golgi, stroma, DNA
