Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts are found in plants and algae. They’re responsible for capturing light energy to make sugars in photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are chlorophyll-containing organelles in plant cells; they play a vital role for life on Earth since photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts. Chloroplasts develop from proplastids, as do chromoplasts, leucoplasts, and other plastids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplast is the organelle in plant cells which is the site for photosynthesis.
