Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the process mentioned in the problem: photosynthesis, which is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.
Recall that photosynthesis occurs in a specific organelle within plant cells that contains pigments like chlorophyll to capture light energy.
Understand that the nucleus is responsible for storing genetic information, not photosynthesis.
Recognize that mitochondria are involved in cellular respiration, the process of energy release, not photosynthesis.
Conclude that the chloroplast is the organelle where photosynthesis primarily takes place in plant leaf cells.
