Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll. This is a green pigment that absorbs light energy from the sun for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages, the light reaction stage and the dark reaction stage. The chemical energy produced from this process is stored as sugar. Chloroplasts are plastids that develop in the cells of plant leaves. read more
