The Chloroplast harnesses sunlight and converts it into energy through Photosynthesis. It creates glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide, water, and light.
Structure
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which captures sunlight energy and converts it into chemical energy.
Chloroplasts contain thylakoids, flattened sacs arranged in stacks where the reactions take place.
Synergy
Mitochondria convert the glucose output of chloroplasts into energy.
