Traps light energy from the sun to make glucose in plants
A
Mitochondria
B
Chloroplast
C
Cytoplasm
D
Centrioles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplast is the structure in plant cells that traps light energy. It is the site of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In most plants, the leaves are the main food factories. They capture the sun’s energy with the help of chlorophyll in the leaf cells. The chlorophyll traps and packages the energy from the light of the sun in a process called photosynthesis. Leaves usually have a large surface so they can collect the most sunlight.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photosynthesis takes place inside the chloroplasts of plant cells. Chlorophyll, the green pigment found in chloroplasts, traps light energy, usually from the sun.
