The statement that is true for chloroplasts is that they convert light energy into chemical energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sun is the energy supply source fir the process of photosynthesis. The pigment present in plants that help to trap the solar energy is the chlorophyll found in the cell organelle chloroplast.

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy from the sun and converts the energy into a different form. This energy is stored in ATP and NADPH which are the molecules that store energy.

Oxygen present in water is released out to the environment during this process. Differ types of chlorophyll pigment absorbs different wavelengths of sunlight and thus have different color.
