Solution

Yes, we can say so.

Reason: A kitchen is a place where raw ingredients are put together to cook food. Similarly, chloroplasts collect raw materials like carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and use solar energy captured by chlorophyll to synthesize organic food (glucose) for the plant cell.
