Answer:

The primary functions of the chloroplasts are food production (glucose) during photosynthesis, and to store food energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chloroplast contains a mixture of several pigments, the mainones being chlorophyll and carotenoids and xanthophyll. These pigments can absorp certain portions of visible light, which are used to drive the photosynthesis process. Chloroplast is an organelle unique to plant cells containing hlorophyllous matter (which is what makes plants green) and is also responsible for enabling photosynthesis to occur so that plants can convert sunlight into chemical energy.
