What is the function of the chloroplast?
A
To give the cell its round shape
B
To produce food in a plant cell through photosynthesis
C
To produce food in an animal cell
D
To help the cell grow and reproduce
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 produce energy through photosynthesis and oxygen-release processes, which sustain plant growth and crop yield. As such, chloroplasts are responsible for the biosynthesis of active compounds such as amino acids, phytohormones, nucleotides, vitamins, lipids, and secondary metabolites [9].

Detailed explanation-3: -The most important function of the chloroplast is to synthesise food by the process of photosynthesis. Absorbs light energy and converts it into chemical energy. Chloroplast has a structure called chlorophyll which functions by trapping the solar energy and is used for the synthesis of food in all green plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplast is a plastid containing green pigment called chlorophyll. This pigment helps the cells to prepare its own food by the process of photosynthesis, So thats why Chloroplast is the cell organelle which is known as Kitchen of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls allow plants to have rigid structures as varied as wood trunks and supple leaves; and vacuoles allow plant cells to change size.
