Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that photosynthesis is the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy in cells.
Recall that photosynthesis primarily occurs in organelles that contain pigments capable of capturing light energy.
Identify the organelle in plant and algal cells that contains chlorophyll, the pigment essential for photosynthesis.
Recognize that the chloroplast is the organelle responsible for photosynthesis, as it houses the thylakoid membranes where light-dependent reactions occur.
Eliminate other organelles such as mitochondrion, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus, which have different cellular functions unrelated to photosynthesis.
