Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which part of the cell captures energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy stored in food?
A
Chloroplast
B
Cytoskeleton
C
Mitochondria
D
Nucleolus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The chlorophyll absorbs energy from the light waves, which is converted into chemical energy in the form of the molecules ATP and NADPH.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells. It is like a solar panel that changes sunlight energy into electric energy. The entire process is called photosynthesis and it all depends on the little green chlorophyll molecules in each chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-3: -The organelle found in plant cells that is responsible for converting sunlight energy into the chemical energy found in sugar molecules is called the chloroplast. This double-membrane organelle is able to harness sunlight energy due to its chlorophyll content.
