What are Chloroplasts?

Chloroplasts will never be found in an animal cell. Most of the cells in the green parts of any plant will have them. Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, and the energy of the sunlight is then used for making food by means of Photosynthesis. Chloroplasts often contain Starch Grains, which have been made by means of Photosythesis. Animal cells never contain Starch Grains either.
