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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sunlight is converted to chemical energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the main energy-storing molecule in living organisms. ATP is then transported throughout the chloroplast and used to provide the chemical energy necessary to power other metabolic reactions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The organelle found in plant cells that is responsible for converting sunlight energy into the chemical energy found in sugar molecules is called the chloroplast. This double-membrane organelle is able to harness sunlight energy due to its chlorophyll content.
