This organelle traps sunlight and uses that energy to convert it to food.
A
Mitochondria
B
Chloroplasts
C
Lysosomes
D
Chlorophyll
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplast: Chloroplast is the structure in plant cells that traps light energy. It is the site of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -In eukaryotic cells these reactions occur in the organelle known as the chloroplast. In the chloroplast, chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs the sunlight. Chlorophyll is typically packed into stacks of membranes (called grana); it is in the grana where some of the sunlight is absorbed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chlorophyll, a green pigment found in chloroplasts, is an important part of the light-dependent reactions. Chlorophyll soaks up the energy from sunlight.
