Captures energy from the sunlight and uses it to produce food in a plant cell
A
Chloroplast
B
Ribosomes
C
Nucleus
D
Cell Wall
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -Chloroplasts and photosynthetic bacteria obtain high-energy electrons by means of photosystems that capture the electrons that are excited when sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -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: -The organelle that captures sunlight for plants is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts are green, membrane-bound organelles inside the cytoplasm of plant cells. They contain the pigment chlorophyll, which both gives plants their green color and allows plants to harvest the energy in sunlight.
