Which cell organelle utilizes light energy during photosynthesis?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Chloroplasts.
During photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical energy, and this process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
1. Chloroplasts :
· Chloroplasts contain a pigment called chlorophyll that captures light energy from the sun. This light energy is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are the specific cell organelles responsible for utilizing light energy in plants and some algae.
2. Mitochondria :
· Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration, not photosynthesis.
3. Ribosome :
· Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis and do not play a role in photosynthesis or energy capture from light.
4. Golgi body :
· The Golgi apparatus is involved in packaging and transporting proteins and lipids within the cell. It has no role in the photosynthesis process.
Thus, the organelle that utilizes light energy during photosynthesis is the chloroplast.
