Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelle responsible for photosynthesis by recalling the key functions of each listed organelle.
Understand that photosynthesis is the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen.
Recall that chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll, which captures light energy necessary for photosynthesis.
Recognize that lysosomes are involved in digestion and waste removal, not photosynthesis.
Note that the Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying and packaging proteins, and mitochondria are the site of cellular respiration, not photosynthesis.
