Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This plant cell organelle contains the chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis (makes the food).
A
Cell wall
B
Large central vacuole
C
Mitochondria
D
Chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll. Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane and contain a third inner membrane, called the thylakoid membrane, that forms long folds within the organelle.

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: –Thylakoids are membrane-bound compartments present inside chloroplasts. The compartment consists of the thylakoid membrane, where chlorophyll exists, and thylakoid lumen. The thylakoid membrane is where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color, and it helps plants create their own food through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
