Question

question 28 (1 point) what organelles in a plant cell capture energy from the sun and converts it to chemical energy through photosynthesis a nucleus b mitochondria c chloroplasts d ribosomes

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: The nucleus contains genetic material and is not involved in capturing solar energy for photosynthesis.
• Option b: Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration (converting chemical energy from food), not capturing solar energy for photosynthesis.
• Option c: Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells that contain chlorophyll and are the site of photosynthesis, where solar energy is captured and converted to chemical energy (glucose).
• Option d: Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis and not in energy capture for photosynthesis.

Answer:

c. chloroplasts
