which of the following statements is true of chloroplasts?
they give an animal cell its shape.
they produce proteins used by other parts of the cell.
they contain an entire copy of a cells genetic material.
they capture energy from sunlight.
Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells (not animal cells) that perform photosynthesis, which is the process of capturing energy from sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen. They do not give an animal cell its shape (that's the role of the cytoskeleton in animal cells), nor do they produce proteins (that's the job of ribosomes), and they do not contain an entire copy of a cell's genetic material (the nucleus does that).
