Detailed explanation-1: -In plants and algae, which developed much later, photosynthesis occurs in a specialized intracellular organelle-the chloroplast. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis during the daylight hours. The immediate products of photosynthesis, NADPH and ATP, are used by the photosynthetic cells to produce many organic molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells. It is like a solar panel that changes sunlight energy into electric energy. The entire process is called photosynthesis and it all depends on the little green chlorophyll molecules in each chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts: Chloroplasts are plant cell organelles contain green pigment chlorophyll capture the energy of sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell by photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Structure and Function of Chloroplasts Plant chloroplasts are large organelles (5 to 10 m long) that, like mitochondria, are bounded by a double membrane called the chloroplast envelope (Figure 10.13).
