Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
These organelles capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell.
A
cell membrane
B
chloroplasts
C
cell wall
D
ribosomes
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. The immediate products of photosynthesis, NADPH and ATP, are used by the photosynthetic cells to produce many organic molecules.

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: -Mitochondria are the “powerhouses” of the cell, breaking down fuel molecules and capturing energy in cellular respiration. Chloroplasts are found in plants and algae.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chlorophyll is what absorbs the sun’s energy and turns it into chemical energy. Not all the light energy from the sun is absorbed. Sunlight has many different colors in it. Chlorophyll usually absorbs red and blue light from the sun and reflects green light.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chloroplasts: Chloroplasts are plant cell organelles contain green pigment chlorophyll capture the energy of sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell by photosynthesis.
