Multiple Choice
What is the primary function of chloroplasts in plant and algal cells?
A
They carry out photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy stored in sugars.
B
They store genetic information as the cell’s primary DNA repository.
C
They modify and package proteins for secretion outside the cell.
D
They generate ATP mainly through oxidative phosphorylation during cellular respiration.
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelle in question: chloroplasts, which are found in plant and algal cells.
Recall the main role of chloroplasts, which is related to energy conversion using light.
Understand that chloroplasts contain pigments like chlorophyll that capture light energy.
Recognize that this light energy is converted into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis, producing sugars.
Distinguish this function from other cellular processes such as genetic information storage, protein modification, or ATP generation via cellular respiration, which are roles of other organelles.
