Question
which statement is true of chloroplasts?
they convert light energy into chemical energy.
they are present in animal cells, but not in plant cells.
they transport glucose into the cell.
they convert the energy in glucose into a more usable form.
Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells (not animal cells) that carry out photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, they use light energy (from sunlight) and convert it into chemical energy (in the form of glucose). Transporting glucose into the cell is not their function. Converting energy in glucose into a more usable form (like ATP) is the role of mitochondria, not chloroplasts.
