What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in a plant cell?
A
Mitochondria
B
Chloroplasts
C
Cell Wall
D
Nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for photosynthesis, are in many respects similar to mitochondria. Both chloroplasts and mitochondria function to generate metabolic energy, evolved by endosymbiosis, contain their own genetic systems, and replicate by division.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chlorophyll, the primary pigment used in photosynthesis, reflects green light and absorbs red and blue light most strongly. In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color, and it helps plants create their own food through photosynthesis.
