Unable to make their own food, they live on compounds produced by other organisms. (consumers) All green parts of the plant have chloroplasts, but the leaves are major sites. They are found in the cells of mesophyll, the tissue in the interior of the leaf. (1 cel has 30-40 chloroplasts) Microscopic pores, co2 enters the leaf and o2 exits through. Transport water from roots to leaves and sugar from leaves to roots and other non photosynthetic parts of the plant. A chloroplast has an envelope of two membranes (inner and outer) surrounding the stroma. The stroma is filled with granum, stacked columns of thylakoids with thylakoid space inside. The green pigment chlorophyll resides in the membranes of thylakoids.
