Chloroplast is the organelles that capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis. It is the primary pigment in photosynthetic plants.

                                                     

                                                       Main Idea:
Works to convert light energy of the sun into sugar that can be used by cells.The entire process is called photosynthesis and it all depends on the little green chlorophyll molecules in each chloroplast.A green pigment in chloroplasts called Chlorophyll absorbs the energy in sunlight.This energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

                                                          Summary:

Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll. This is a green pigment that absorbs light energy from the sun for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages, the light reaction stage and the dark reaction stage. The chemical energy produced from this process is stored as sugar. Chloroplasts are plastids that develop in the cells of plant leaves. Plastids assist in the process of storing and later harvesting needed substances to produce energy. Chloroplasts contain the following structures: membrane envelope, thylakoid membrane and chlorophyll.
