Verified step by step guidance1
Understand what chloroplasts are: chloroplasts are organelles found in certain cells that carry out photosynthesis, the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy stored in glucose.
Recall which types of organisms perform photosynthesis and therefore contain chloroplasts in their cells. These are primarily plants and some groups of algae.
Recognize that bacteria and archaea do not have chloroplasts; instead, some bacteria perform photosynthesis using different structures, but these are not chloroplasts.
Note that protozoa, animals, and fungi do not have chloroplasts because they do not perform photosynthesis; they obtain energy through other means.
Conclude that the two types of organisms with cells containing chloroplasts are plants and algae.
