✓

Answer

Chloroplasts are the green coloured plastids present in the cytoplasm of plant cells. They possess photosynthetic pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs energy from the sunlight during the process of photosynthesis. In the process of photosynthesis, green plants make their own food in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll with the help of inorganic substances like carbon dioxide and water. Thus, chloroplast help in the synthesis of food by green plants.
