This organelle turns the light energy into a simple sugar.
A
Mitochondria
B
ER
C
Chloroplast
D
Nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are the working organelles that keep the cell full of energy. In a plant cell, chloroplast makes sugar during the process of photosynthesis converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Inside the chloroplasts within leaves, light, water (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2) are transformed into energy and sugar (glucose). Using water, sunlight is converted into energy-storing molecules within the plant cells. The energy from these molecules is then used to create glucose from CO2.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are the central organelles performing photosynthesis and producing sugars.

Detailed explanation-4: -In a chloroplast, sugars are produced in the stroma. The stroma is the space outside the thylakoid membranes. This is where the reactions of the Calvin cycle take place.
