Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthetic cells contain chlorophyll and other light-sensitive pigments that capture solar energy. In the presence of carbon dioxide, such cells are able to convert this solar energy into energy-rich organic molecules, such as glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts are membrane-bound organelles that use light energy and make food-a sugar called glucose-from water and carbon dioxide through the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are found in plants and algae. They’re responsible for capturing light energy to make sugars in photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -A chloroplast is a green organelle which some eukaryotes, such as plants and algae, have in their cells. It is in charge of photosynthesis, the process which produces the energy which the organism needs to survive. A chloroplast uses energy from light to make sugars from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
