Chloroplasts can only be found in plant cells! They convert light energy from the sun and make it into sugar that the cell can use! Chloroplasts have chlorophyll molecules in them; these are what carry out the process of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are sometimes described as large, irregular shaped, green structures in the plant cell. The Chloroplasts in the cell works with the vacuoles in the cell! They produce the energy while the vacuoles store it! Most chloroplasts are oval-ish blobs, but they can come in all different sorts of shapes. Chloroplasts have their own DNA. They also have there own ribosomes. With these the Chloroplasts can make proteins from RNA.
