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: -A chloroplast is an organelle within the cells of plants and certain algae that is the site of photosynthesis, which is the process by which energy from the Sun is converted into chemical energy for growth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are small green, bean-shaped organelles. They are plastids and have the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll allows the plants to absorb solar energy. This energy is converted into chemical energy which is used to make food.

Detailed explanation-4: -The electromagnetic energy of sunlight is converted to chemical energy in the chlorophyll-containing cells of photosynthetic organisms. In eukaryotic cells these reactions occur in the organelle known as the chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-5: -In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested and converted to chemical energy in the form of glucose using water and carbon dioxide.
