->Chloroplast is green organelle found only in plant cells that provide the color and enable it to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis.Chloroplast has chlorophyll pigment (the green pigmentation of plants) which is responsible for capturing light energy to conserve free energy in the form of Adenosine-5'-triphosphate (co-enzyme). This energy is conserved in order to carry out the process of photosynthesis which needs light to process food for the plants. ->light reactions of photosynthesis. http://www.science.smith.edu/departments/Biology/Bio231/ltrxn.html --->arbon fixation step of the Calvin cycle http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/higher/biology/cell_biology/photosynthesis/revision/3/ these links may help
