Chloroplast

Chloroplast organelles capture light from the sun and convert it into energy, by using the process of photosynthesis. It is only found in plant cells, and some algae. Inside the membrane, there are many little disk shaped objects called Thylakoids These thylakoids trap the sunlight by a pigment called chlorophyll (which gives the leaves of trees the color green). The main purpose of the chloroplast is to convert the light it recieves from the sun, into energy that the cell can use.
