Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The football used in American Football is an oval. Chloroplasts can be spherical but also oval-shaped. For the rest of the world, football is what people in the U.S. call soccer. So a football can also be spherical in shape and thus chloroplasts can be spherical just like footballs are. Chloroplasts can also be disc-shaped.
