Chloroplasts are specialized organelles found in plant cells and some algae that are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy. They contain chlorophyll, the green pigment that captures light energy, and are surrounded by a double membrane. Chloroplasts also have their own DNA and ribosomes, allowing them to replicate independently within the cell. In addition to photosynthesis, they play a role in synthesizing fatty acids and amino acids.
