Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of photosynthesis, which is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
Recall that photosynthesis occurs in plant cells and requires a specific organelle that contains pigments like chlorophyll to capture light energy.
Identify the organelle responsible for photosynthesis by considering the functions of the options: mitochondrion (energy production via respiration), Golgi apparatus (protein modification and sorting), lysosome (digestion and waste removal).
Recognize that the chloroplast is the organelle containing chlorophyll and the site where photosynthesis takes place.
Conclude that the chloroplast is necessary for photosynthesis in plant cells.
