It contains Chlorophyll which absorbs light which is then used to carry out photosynthesis and make energy for the cell
Chloroplasts absorb light in order for the plant to go through the photosynthesis process. Chloroplast is a green pigment which is used by the plants to prepare their food in the form of glucose.

i love cells
In a nutshell: the chloroplasts convert light into ATP energy. There are specialized organelles called chloroplasts with a complex membrane system that allow the separation of charges to convert electromagnetic energy (photons) into electrochemical energy (proton gradient) and eventually into chemical energy in the form of ATP (phosphoryltransfer potential) and NADPH (reducing power) and ultimately as carbohydrates, fats and amino acids.
Chloroplasts use the light energy (from the sun) to convert simple inorganic molecules (e.g. water and carbon dioxide) into complex compounds, such as sugars.

Examples of these sugars and their uses are:

  • Cellulose for the cell walls.
  • Starch, the main type of storage carbohydrate.
  • Sucrose, which is transported around the plant and sometimes stored in the fruits.

it helps them storage energy and keep them alive like how food keeps us human beings alive too.it helps them storage energy and keep them alive like how food keeps us human beings alive too.
Inside a plant Cell, there are tiny structures called chloroplasts. They are the structures that provide the Cell with energy derived via photosynthesis.

Chloroplasts are responsible for the green color of almost all plants and are lacking only in plants that do not make their own food, such as fungi and non-green parasitic or saprophytic higher plants.
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which traps light for photosynthesis
