Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll. This pigment is able to capture photons (light waves) from light sources and convert it into energy (sugar) for the plant. This process is called photosynthesis.

The following equation describes the process above:

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Light ----> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
