Which of the following is a true statement about chloroplasts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. They transport glucose into the cell. B. They convert light energy into chemical energy. C. They are present in animal cells, but not in plant cells. D. They convert the energy in glucose into a more usable form.

OpenStudy (rushwr):

I would say B. Because in chloroplast only the light reaction of the photosynthesis occur. During the light reaction the photosystems absorbs light of different wavelengths. And thus they are converted into chemical energy.

OpenStudy (rushwr):

C is anyway wrong because chloroplast is not present in animals.

OpenStudy (rushwr):

The conversion of glucose occur in the mitochondria.

So the correct answer would be B
