Question

chloroplasts are elongated or disc - shaped organelles containing chlorophyll that trap sunlight for energy. photosynthesis (in which energy from sunlight is converted into chemical energy - food) takes place in the chloroplasts. only plant cells, not animal cells, have chloroplasts & can make their own food. cells also contain fluid - filled sacs called vacuoles. the vacuole is filled with food being digested or waste material that is on its way out of the cell. in plant cells, a large central vacuole takes up most of the space in the cell. mitochondria are spherical to peanut - shaped organelles with a double membrane. the mitochondrion converts the glucose into energy for the cell. both plant chloroplasts and animal mitochondria have double membranes and their own dna. cells also contain rounded organelles called lysosomes that contain digestive enzymes. nutrients are digested by the cell here, as well as, old cell organelles that are going to be recycled. 19. what do chloroplasts contain that traps sunlight for energy? 20. what process takes place inside chloroplasts? 21. chloroplasts are found in what type of cell(s) only? 22. food, water, and wastes are stored inside ________. 23 the largest organelle in plants is the ______. 24. digestion takes place inside ______ that contain ________. 25. what organelle breaks down and recycles worn out cells?

Explanation:

1. Photosynthesis is the process that occurs in chloroplasts to convert sunlight energy into chemical - energy (food).
2. Chloroplasts are unique to plant cells and enable them to make their own food.
3. Vacuoles are fluid - filled sacs that store food, water, and wastes.
4. The large central vacuole takes up most of the space in a plant cell, making it the largest organelle.
5. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes and are where digestion occurs in the cell.
6. Lysosomes break down and recycle worn - out cell organelles.
7. Chlorophyll is the pigment in chloroplasts that traps sunlight for energy.

Answer:

1. Chlorophyll
2. Photosynthesis
3. Plant cells
4. Vacuoles
5. Large central vacuole
6. Lysosomes; digestive enzymes
7. Lysosomes
