Question

which organelle is responsible for carrying out the process of photosynthesis in plant cells? chloroplast mitochondria cell plate vacuole

Explanation:

To determine the organelle responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, we analyze each option:

• Chloroplast: Contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis, where light energy is converted to chemical energy.
• Mitochondria: Involved in cellular respiration (energy production from glucose), not photosynthesis.
• Cell plate: Forms during plant cell division, not related to photosynthesis.
• Vacuole: Stores substances (water, nutrients, waste) and maintains cell turgor, not photosynthesis.

Answer:

A. chloroplast
