Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
collect sunlight which it converts to sugars
A
chloroplasts
B
cytoplasm
C
cell wall
D
mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Detailed Solution. The correct answer is Chloroplast. The chloroplast of the plant cell traps sunlight to make sugar. The chloroplast is an organelle that contains the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll that captures sunlight and converts it into useful energy, thereby, releasing oxygen from water.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process is carried out by plants, algae, and some types of bacteria, which capture energy from sunlight to produce oxygen (O2) and chemical energy stored in glucose (a sugar). Herbivores then obtain this energy by eating plants, and carnivores obtain it by eating herbivores.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells. It is like a solar panel that changes sunlight energy into electric energy. The entire process is called photosynthesis and it all depends on the little green chlorophyll molecules in each chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts are tiny factories inside the cells of plants. They are also found in the cells of other organisms that use photosynthesis. Chloroplasts take the energy from the sunlight and use it to make plant food.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the light-dependent reactions, which take place at the thylakoid membrane, chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight and then converts it into chemical energy with the use of water.
