What is the function of chloroplasts?
A
Eats large bugs
B
Captures energy from the sun and uses it to produce food
C
Stays happy
D
Uses water to help plants grow
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In plants and algae, which developed much later, photosynthesis occurs in a specialized intracellular organelle-the chloroplast. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis during the daylight hours. The immediate products of photosynthesis, NADPH and ATP, are used by the photosynthetic cells to produce many organic molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells. It is like a solar panel that changes sunlight energy into electric energy. The entire process is called photosynthesis and it all depends on the little green chlorophyll molecules in each chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process. By doing so, they sustain life on Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts are found in plants and algae. They’re responsible for capturing light energy to make sugars in photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast is a light-absorbing pigment called chlorophyll, which is responsible for giving the plant its green color. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll absorbs energy from blue-and red-light waves, and reflects green-light waves, making the plant appear green.
