The chloroplast is a structure present in plant cells and the green algae cells. These chloroplasts are involved in the conversion of the light energy into the chemical energy via the process of photosynthesis. The chloroplasts are the sites where the photosynthesis occurs. The photosynthesis leads to the production of oxygen and organic compounds which are the source of energy.

Hence, the answer is 'photosynthesis occurs'.
