Sourced from [twinkl.com] titled “What is a Chloroplast?” Chloroplasts are mostly oval-shaped blobs, but they can come in shapes like stars and ribbons too. A chloroplast is protected by a smooth outer membrane which holds all of its material. They contain chlorophyll, which is the pigment that gives plants their green colour.
