Detailed explanation-1: -In all autotrophic eukaryotes, photosynthesis takes place inside an organelle called a chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to make their food. In photosynthesis, autotrophs use energy from the sun to convert water from the soil and carbon dioxide from the air into a nutrient called glucose. Glucose is a type of sugar. The glucose gives plants energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most autotrophs make their “food” through photosynthesis using the energy of the sun. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast, an organelle specific to plant cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis takes place inside the chloroplasts that sit in the mesophyll of the leaves. The thylakoids sit inside the chloroplast and they contain chlorophyll which absorbs the different colours of the light spectrum to create energy (Source: Biology: LibreTexts).

Detailed explanation-5: -The chloroplast is involved in photosynthesis and consequently cells that contain chloroplasts are autotrophic, which means that they are able to make their own food from inorganic molecules by using the radiant energy of sunlight.
