B
Golgi apparatus
C
Mitochondrion
D
Chloroplast
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelle responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells by recalling the function of each listed organelle.
Recall that lysosomes are involved in digestion and waste removal, not photosynthesis.
Remember that the Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins, not photosynthesis.
Understand that mitochondria are the site of cellular respiration, producing energy by breaking down glucose, but they do not perform photosynthesis.
Recognize that chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and are the organelles where photosynthesis takes place, converting light energy into chemical energy.
