No, you would not expect to find chloroplasts in the cells that make up the plant’s roots. Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis, a process that converts light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, and they contain the green pigment chlorophyll which captures sunlight.
Roots, on the other hand, are primarily responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil, and they do not typically receive sunlight. Because photosynthesis requires light, the cells in roots do not need chloroplasts to perform this function. Instead, root cells have different organelles that are adapted for nutrient absorption and storage.
In summary, chloroplasts are found in the green parts of plants, such as leaves and stems, where photosynthesis occurs, while root cells are specialized for their role below ground and do not possess chloroplasts.
