Answer:

Plants need chloroplasts to capture light energy.

Plant cells use light energy to make food.

The cell uses the energy from food.

Hope it helps ;)

In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls allow plants to have rigid structures as varied as wood trunks and supple leaves; and vacuoles allow plant cells to change size
