Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the process in question: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.
Understand the role of chloroplasts: Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells that contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy.
Recognize the structure of chloroplasts: Chloroplasts have a double membrane and contain thylakoids, where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur.
Differentiate between organelles: Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis, the nucleus contains genetic material, and mitochondria are responsible for energy production through cellular respiration.
Conclude that chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for absorbing sunlight during photosynthesis, as they contain the necessary pigments and structures for this process.
