Chloroplasts are responsible for ____
A
Photosynthesis
B
Respiration
C
Storing DNA
D
Mitosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for photosynthesis, are in many respects similar to mitochondria. Both chloroplasts and mitochondria function to generate metabolic energy, evolved by endosymbiosis, contain their own genetic systems, and replicate by division.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The chloroplast absorbs the energy in sunlight and uses it to produce sugars. Chloroplasts play an important part in the process of photosynthesis in some organisms. The chloroplast absorbs the energy in sunlight and uses it to produce sugars.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color, and it helps plants create their own food through photosynthesis.
