C
Ribosome
D
Mitochondrion
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
Recall that photosynthesis primarily occurs in the organelle that contains chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy.
Identify the organelle known as the chloroplast, which has internal membrane structures called thylakoids where the light-dependent reactions take place.
Recognize that other organelles listed, such as the Golgi apparatus, ribosome, and mitochondrion, have different functions unrelated to photosynthesis.
Conclude that the chloroplast is the organelle where photosynthesis primarily occurs in plant cells.
