CELL ORGANELLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A structure in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food.
A
Endoplasmic Reticulum
B
Mitochondria
C
Cell Wall
D
Chloroplast
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: -Chloroplasts are found in plants and algae. They’re responsible for capturing light energy to make sugars in photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Structure of Chloroplasts Chloroplasts are oval-shaped and have two membranes: an outer membrane and an inner membrane. Between the outer and inner membrane is the intermembrane space approximately 10-20 nm wide. The space within the inner membrane is the stroma, the dense fluid within the chloroplast.
