Close. Chloroplasts contain something called chlorphyll - this is what reacts to the light so the plant can use light energy for its respiration

No, chloroplasts are organelles that contain chlorophyll, the molecule that undergoes conformational changes in the presence of light and aids in the formation of energy-rich chemicals by plants.

Slow down, folks! Chloroplasts are not molecules, they are organelles.
The molecules invovled are known as "pigments". The most familiar pigment is chlorophyll, but there are at least three others involved in photosynthesis to lesser degrees: carotene, xanthophyll, and phaeophytin.

You are right. Chloroplasts trap the light so that photosynthesis occurs, which converts this light to energy.
