Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In plant cells, this structure captures energy from the sun to produce food.
A
Ribosomes
B
Cell Wall
C
Vacuoles
D
Chloroplasts
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The chlorophyll absorbs energy from the light waves, which is converted into chemical energy in the form of the molecules ATP and NADPH.

Detailed explanation-2: -In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls allow plants to have rigid structures as varied as wood trunks and supple leaves; and vacuoles allow plant cells to change size.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -There are many different types of pigments in nature, but chlorophyll is unique in its ability to enable plants to absorb the energy they need to build tissues. Chlorophyll is located in a plant’s chloroplasts, which are tiny structures in a plant’s cells. This is where photosynthesis takes place.

Detailed explanation-5: -A chloroplast is an organelle within the cells of plants and certain algae that is the site of photosynthesis, which is the process by which energy from the Sun is converted into chemical energy for growth.
