Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What organelle in the leaves of plants capture light energy from the sun to complete photosynthesis?
A
Chloroplasts
B
Mitochondria
C
Nucleus
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: -Inside the plant cell are small organelles called chloroplasts, which store the energy of sunlight. Within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast is a light-absorbing pigment called chlorophyll, which is responsible for giving the plant its green color.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are found in plants and algae. They’re responsible for capturing light energy to make sugars in photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplast: Chloroplast is a cell organelle present only in plants and certain algae. It is the site of photosynthesis in plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -A chloroplast is a type of plastid (a saclike organelle with a double membrane) that contains chlorophyll to absorb light energy.
