An organelle that captures energy from the sunlight in order to use it to produce food in plant cells is ____
A
Chromatin
B
Chloroplast
C
Cytoplasm
D
Cell Membrane
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: -Inside the plant cell are small organelles called chloroplasts, which store the energy of sunlight. Within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast is a light-absorbing pigment called chlorophyll, which is responsible for giving the plant its green color.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chlorophyll is what absorbs the sun’s energy and turns it into chemical energy. Not all the light energy from the sun is absorbed. Sunlight has many different colors in it. Chlorophyll usually absorbs red and blue light from the sun and reflects green light.
