Definitions and meanings of "Chloroplast"

What do we mean by chloroplast?

A plastid that contains chlorophyll and is found in the cells of green plants and algae. noun

Same as chloroplastid. noun

A plastid containing chlorophyll, developed only in cells exposed to the light. Chloroplasts are minute flattened granules, usually occurring in great numbers in the cytoplasm near the cell wall, and consist of a colorless ground substance saturated with chlorophyll pigments. Under light of varying intensity they exhibit phototactic movements. In animals chloroplasts occur only in certain low forms. noun

An organelle found in the cells of green plants, and in photosynthetic algae, where photosynthesis takes place. noun

Plastid containing chlorophyll and other pigments; in plants that carry out photosynthesis noun
