CHLOROPLAST:
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
, Lesson Objective
• Establish the relationship between structure
and function of chloroplasts
, Success criteria
• Review and describe the internal structure of a
leaf.
• Use a micrograph of a chloroplast draw and label an
observational drawing of a chloroplast.
• Annotate the drawing; clearly showing where light
dependent and light independent reactions take place.
• Make a model of the chloroplast using locally available
material. (Project work)
• Explain adaptations of chloroplast for photosynthesis.
• Compare the structure of chlorophyll and hemoglobin.
, Review questions (Grade 10)
Name the outside of the leaf.
What are the special characteristics of palisade
cells?
What are the special characteristics of the
spongy mesophyll?
Why does the palisade mesophyll contain more
chloroplast than the spongy mesophyll?
