Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The primary function of a chloroplast is to ____
A
convert food into energy a cell can use
B
control the functions of a cell and control genetic traits
C
convert radiant energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis
D
store water and nutrients
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The chloroplast converts the radiant energy of the sun into chemical energy by producing organic matter from carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts produce energy through photosynthesis and oxygen-release processes, which sustain plant growth and crop yield. As such, chloroplasts are responsible for the biosynthesis of active compounds such as amino acids, phytohormones, nucleotides, vitamins, lipids, and secondary metabolites [9].

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process by which organisms that contain the pigment chlorophyll convert light energy into chemical energy which can be stored in the molecular bonds of organic molecules (e.g., sugars).

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts are small green, bean-shaped organelles. They are the sites of photosynthesis, allowing the plant to convert light (radiant) energy into chemical energy which is used to make food.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chloroplasts are small green, bean-shaped organelles. They are plastids and have the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll allows the plants to absorb solar energy. This energy is converted into chemical energy which is used to make food.
