Chloroplast is chloroplast filled organelle that is found in plant cells and some green algae. Chloroplast is a kind of plastid - a round oval disk-shaped body, that is involved in the synthesis and storage of food stuffs.

A function of these pigments is to absorb light energy in plants for powering the process of photosynthesis.
