Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A structure in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food.
A
Endoplasmic Reticulum
B
Mitochondria
C
Cell Wall
D
Chloroplast
Explanation: 

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: -Chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell. The organelles are only found in plant cells and some protists such as algae. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells.

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: -Chlorophyll is an important molecule for plants that helps them take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells, and they contain chlorophyll too. They also use light to make food for the plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -A chloroplast is a type of plastid (a saclike organelle with a double membrane) that contains chlorophyll to absorb light energy.
