Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the process of photosynthesis, which is the method by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.
Identify the organelle responsible for capturing light energy. In plant cells, this is the chloroplast.
Learn about the structure of chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll, the pigment that absorbs light.
Understand that chloroplasts are unique to plant cells and some algae, and they are the site where photosynthesis occurs.
