Captures light energy from the sun
A
Chloroplast
B
Mitochondria
C
Both
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Photosynthesis is a two-step process. In chloroplasts, chlorophyll molecules absorb sunlight and pass the extra energy to molecular partners that use it to generate the energy-storing chemicals adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH).

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts: Chloroplasts are small parts of plant cells that capture energy from sunlight. Glucose: Glucose is the nutrient produced by photosynthesis, which plants need to grow. Leaf: A leaf is a large part of a plant attached to the stem that contains chlorophyll and can take in carbon dioxide.
