Multiple Choice
Which organelle is only found in a plant cell (and other photosynthetic eukaryotes) and is responsible for photosynthesis?
A
Chloroplast
B
Lysosome
C
Mitochondrion
D
Ribosome
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelles listed in the options and recall their primary functions within the cell.
Understand that lysosomes are involved in digestion and waste processing, mitochondria generate ATP through cellular respiration, and ribosomes synthesize proteins; all of these are found in both plant and animal cells.
Recognize that chloroplasts are unique to plant cells and other photosynthetic eukaryotes and are the site where photosynthesis occurs.
Recall that photosynthesis is the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy stored in glucose, and this process takes place inside the chloroplast.
Conclude that the organelle responsible for photosynthesis and only found in plant cells (and other photosynthetic eukaryotes) is the chloroplast.
