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 specific organelles within plant and algal cells that contain pigments to capture light.
Identify the organelle known as the chloroplast, which contains chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for absorbing light.
Recognize that mitochondria are involved in cellular respiration, not photosynthesis, and the Golgi apparatus and lysosomes have different functions related to protein processing and digestion, respectively.
Conclude that the chloroplast is the organelle that performs photosynthesis in plant and algal cells.
