Question

Factory for synthesis of sugar in autotrophic eukaryotes is

• A. Chloroplast
• B. Mitochondrion
• C. Endoplasmic reticulum
• D. Ribosome

Answer 1

The correct option is A Chloroplast

• The chloroplast is a plastid which contains chlorophyll (green pigment) within the thylakoid membranes of the organelle.
  
• This organelle is present in the green parts of plants where photosynthesis takes place.
• It is the main site of synthesis of glucose by the process called photosynthesis.
• The chlorophyll pigment captures the sunlight and converts it into chemical energy and thus, helps in the process of photosynthesis.
• So, the correct answer is 'Chloroplast'.
