Detailed Solution

Chloroplasts often align themselves within plant cells in a way that maximizes their exposure to light. When light intensity is high and coming from a specific direction, chloroplasts tend to align perpendicular to the incident light to capture the maximum amount of light energy for photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, excess glucose produced by the Calvin cycle can be converted into starch for storage.
