Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the cell organelle that contains chlorophyll and makes food for a PLANT cell?
A
chlorophyll
B
chloroplast
C
vacuole
D
mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll. Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane and contain a third inner membrane, called the thylakoid membrane, that forms long folds within the organelle.

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: -The organelle that contains chlorophyll is chloroplast. There are two distinct regions present inside the chloroplasts. One is grana and the other is stroma.

Detailed explanation-4: -The part of the cell that contains chlorophyll is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts are membrane bound organelles in plant cells that carry out photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Structure and Function of Chloroplasts Plant chloroplasts are large organelles (5 to 10 m long) that, like mitochondria, are bounded by a double membrane called the chloroplast envelope (Figure 10.13).
