It is now about 100 years since the chloroplast has been recognized as the site of photosynthesis in plant cells. The last 20 years have seen a striking increase in interest in the structure and function of the chloroplast. Hastened on by powerful new tools such as the electron microscope and the newer methods of isolation and analysis of chloroplasts, there is presently considerable experimental work on the properties of this organelle

Structure of Chloroplasts. Chloroplasts found in higher plants are generally biconvex or planoconvex shaped. Some chloroplasts are in shape of club, they have a thin middle zone and the ends are filled with chlorophyll.

Structure of Chloroplasts. Chloroplasts can be found in the cells of the mesophyll in plant leaves. In different plants chloroplasts have different shapes, they vary from spheroid, filamentous saucer-shaped, discoid or ovoid shaped. They are vesicular and have a colorless center. In algae a single huge chloroplast is seen that appears as a network, a spiral band or a stellate plate.

Chloroplast: Structure and Function The role of chloroplasts in photosynthesis has been illustrated below followed by a description of the roles of different components of chloroplasts.

Chloroplast: Structure and Function. Present in plants and certain algae, chloroplasts are a type of membrane-bound plastids. They harbor light-harvesting pigments including chlorophyll, and serve as the site for photosynthesis as well as some reactions of photorespiration. Read on this article to know more. The role of chloroplasts in photosynthesis has been illustrated below followed by a description of the roles of different components of chloroplasts. The envelope of the chloroplasts is semi-permeable, and it regulates the entry and exit of molecules from the chloroplast.

Chapter 1. Long-Range Lateral Transport between Immobile Chloroplasts in Chara . Long-Range Lateral Transport between Immobile Chloroplasts in Chara is Sensitive to Interference of Brefeldin A in Vesicle Trafficking (pp. 1-24) (A. A. Bulychev, A. Rybina and I. Foissner). Chapter 3. Genetic Functions of Cytoplasm in Plants with Special Emphasis on Sorghum (pp. 97-154) (Lev Elkonin, Oksana Kibalnik, Aleksandra Zavalishina, Grigory Gerashchenkov and Natalia Rozhnova). Nova publishes a wide array of books and journals from authors around the globe, focusing on Medicine and Health, Science and Technology and the Social Sciences and Humanities.

Dramatic changes occurred during the process of the formation and evolution of chloroplasts, including the large-scale gene transfer from chloroplast to nucleus.

The assembly and transfer of iron-sulfur clusters critical for many. Dramatic changes occurred during the process of the formation and evolution of chloroplasts, including the large-scale gene transfer from chloroplast to nucleus. However, there are still many essential characters remaining. For the chloroplast division machinery, FtsZ proteins, Ftn2, SulA and.

Compared to other organelles like the mitochondria, chloroplasts are relatively larger ranging from 4 to 10 micrometers in diameter and about 2 micrometers in thickness. These include: The smooth outer membrane (outer envelope membrane).

Function of Chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are the part of plant and algal cells that carry out photosynthesis, the process of converting light energy to energy stored in the form of sugar and other organic molecules that the plant or alga uses as food. Photosynthesis has two stages. In the first stage, the light-dependent reactions occur.

Chloroplasts- Structure and Functions. The chloroplasts of certain plants contain an additional set of membranous tubules called peripheral reticulum that originate from the inner membrane of the envelope. There are usually 30-40 per mesophyll cell. Tiny vesicles bud off from the inner membrane of the chloroplast, and assemble to form the tubules of peripheral reticulum. Functions of Chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are the sites for photosynthesis, which comprises a set of light-dependent and light-independent reactions to harness solar energy and convert it into chemical energy.
