A structure in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food.main function of chloroplasts is to produce food (glucose)Chloroplasts contain the pigment, chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs most of the colors in the color spectrum, and reflects only green and yellow wavelengths of light. This is why we see leaves as green or yellow - because these colors are reflected into our eyes.

What parts of a plant have cells with chloroplasts in them?
