Chloroplasts ( /?kl?r?plæsts/) are organelles found in plant cells and other eukaryotic organisms that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts capture light energy, store it in the energy storage molecules ATP and NADPH and use it in the process called photosynthesis to make organic molecules and free oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.[1]
Chloroplasts are green because they contain the chlorophyll pigment. The word chloroplast (χλωροπλ?στης) is derived from the Greek words chloros (χλωρ?ς), which means green, and plastis (πλ?στης), which means "the one who forms". Chloroplasts are members of a class of organelles known as plastids.
