This organelle captures solar energy and converts it to chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates.
A
Cell Wall
B
Endoplasmic Reticulum
C
Chloroplast
D
Vacuole
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 work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are small green, bean-shaped organelles. They are the site of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts contain green pigments that absorb solar (radiant) energy and helps in converting it into chemical energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants convert solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
