Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide to produce sugars. Chloroplasts capture light energy from the sun to conserve free energy in the form of ATP and reduce NADP to NADPH through a complex set of processes called photosynthesis. It is derived from the Greek words chloros which means green and plast which means form or entity.

it is the chloroplast, found in the cytoplasm of the plant. It contains the green pigment called chlorophyll which traps sunlight to produce food via the process of photosynthesis.
