Multiple Choice
What is the primary function of a chloroplast in plant and algal cells?
A
Degrade macromolecules and worn-out organelles using hydrolytic enzymes in an acidic compartment
B
Generate ATP primarily through oxidative phosphorylation in the inner membrane
C
Modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles
D
Convert light energy into chemical energy by carrying out photosynthesis, producing sugars and releasing oxygen
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelle in question: the chloroplast, which is found in plant and algal cells.
Recall the main function of chloroplasts, which is related to energy conversion in cells.
Understand that chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis, a process that converts light energy into chemical energy.
Recognize that during photosynthesis, chloroplasts produce sugars (like glucose) and release oxygen as a byproduct.
Differentiate chloroplasts from other organelles by their unique role in photosynthesis, unlike lysosomes, mitochondria, or the Golgi apparatus.
