Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Chloroplast ____
A
converts sunlight into a usable form of energy
B
provides protection
C
cleans up waste
D
controls cell functions
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sunlight is converted to chemical energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the main energy-storing molecule in living organisms. ATP is then transported throughout the chloroplast and used to provide the chemical energy necessary to power other metabolic reactions.

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: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -Conclusion. 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-5: -Answer and Explanation: Plant chloroplasts convert the energy of sunlight into chemical energy. This is because in photosynthesis plant chloroplasts capture energy from the sun and use it to turn carbon into sugars.
