Question

………………….. is the scientist who discovered that chloroplast is involved in the process of photosynthesis.

Answer 1

It was discovered by a German botanist, who was born on 2 October 1832 and died on 29 May 1897. Chloroplasts are the organelles that help with the photosynthesis in which the photosynthetic pigment is the chlorophyll that captures the energy from the sunlight.

Complete answer:
Julius Von Sachs discovered chloroplast involvement in photosynthesis. He stated that the green parts in the plant produce the glucose which is stored as starch that is the visible product of photosynthesis. The chloroplast carries a number of functions which include fatty acid synthesis and several amino acid syntheses with the immune response in plants. It is an organ that is a plastid and is two membranous which consists of a high concentration of chlorophyll. They are the highly dynamic organelles that circulate and move around the plant cells and reproduce occasionally. They constitute their DNA which is inherited from their ancestor and is a photosynthetic cyanobacterium that is engulfed by a eukaryotic cell. They are found in a wide set of organisms that are not related to each other directly and the consequence of many secondary and tertiary endosymbiotic events.
The chloroplast arises from mitochondria which are known as serial endosymbiosis that is an early eukaryotic engulfing of the chloroplast ancestor that creates a cell within the chloroplast and mitochondria. The chloroplast is found in all higher plants and is biconvex which is found within the mesophyll of the plant cell. It varies between 4 to 6 micrometers in diameter and 1-3 micrometers in thickness. It contains an inner and outer lipid bilayer membrane which separates the stroma from the intermembrane space. The collection of membranous sacs which are known as thylakoids are present in the chloroplast and constitute green-colored pigment which is known as chlorophyll that is found in the thylakoid membrane.

So, the answer to this question is 'Julius Von Sachs'.

Note:
The chloroplast is termed as the 'kitchen of the cells' because of the synthesis of proteins and the storage of food inside them. It is a semi-autonomous organelle that consists of DNA, RNA, and ribosomes which replicate themselves.
