Lysosome
B
Chloroplast
C
Ribosome
D
Mitochondrion
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelles listed in the problem: lysosome, chloroplast, ribosome, and mitochondrion.
Recall the primary function of each organelle: lysosomes are involved in digestion and waste removal, ribosomes synthesize proteins, mitochondria generate ATP through cellular respiration, and chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis.
Understand that photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
Recognize that chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll, which captures light energy necessary for photosynthesis.
Conclude that photosynthesis primarily occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
