CELL ORGANELLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Organelles used in plant cells that incorporate photosynthesis to create food, such as carbohydrates and glucose for the plant.
A
Nucleus
B
Mitochondria
C
Chloroplast(s)
D
Mitochondrion
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: -The correct answer is (c) plastids. Plastids are organelles that are found in the cytoplasm of plant cells. Some like chloroplasts, function to synthesize carbohydrates like glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplast is a double membranous organelle present in plant cells. It contains a green pigment called chlorophyll. Chloroplast is responsible for the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chloroplast is a cell organelle present only in plants and certain algae. It is the site of photosynthesis in plants. Chloroplast is present in the leaves of plants. They have a photosynthetic pigment called chlorophyll.
