Key Stage 3

Meaning

The small green chloroplasts can be seen inside these cells.

Chloroplasts are a part of some cells that uses photosynthesis to make food for the cell.

About Chloroplasts

Chloroplasts are found in many plant cells and in Euglena.

Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll which allows it to perform photosynthesis.

The Chloroplast is where photosynthesis takes place in a plant.

Some specialised plant cells do not have chloroplasts, such as Root Hair Cells. This is because they are are underground so they don't get any light for photosynthesis.

Examples

Chloroplasts are found in these three types of cell.
Palisade Cell	Spongy Mesophyll Cell	Euglena

A cell found at the top of a leaf.	A cell found in the middle of a leaf.	A unicellular organism that is neither plant nor animal.

Key Stage 4

A green organelle found in plant cells that contains chlorophyll and makes food for the plant by photosynthesis.
