Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that photosynthesis is the process by which plants and algae convert light energy into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen.
Recall that photosynthesis occurs in specialized organelles within the cell that contain pigments like chlorophyll to capture light energy.
Identify the organelle responsible for photosynthesis by considering the functions of the options: ribosomes (protein synthesis), mitochondria (cellular respiration), nucleus (genetic material storage), and chloroplasts.
Recognize that chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll and the structures (thylakoid membranes) where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur.
Conclude that photosynthesis primarily takes place in the chloroplasts of plant and algal cells.
