These organelles capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell.
A
cell membrane
B
chloroplasts
C
cell wall
D
ribosomes
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: Chloroplasts are plant cell organelles contain green pigment chlorophyll capture the energy of sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell by photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -A chloroplast is a type of plastid (a saclike organelle with a double membrane) that serves as the site of photosynthesis, the process by which energy from the Sun is converted into chemical energy for growth. Chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll to absorb light energy.
