Question

The cell organelle responsible for photosynthesis.

Answer 1

Cell organelles

Tiny cellular structure that performs specific function within the cell.

Plastids

1. Double membraned sub-cellular organelles.
2. They are of different kinds.
3. Chloroplast, chromoplast. leucoplast are different types of plastids found in plant cell.

Chloroplast

1. The part of a green plant cell that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis take place.
2. Chloroplast is a type of plastids that traps solar energy and thus plays a major role in photosynthesis.
3. Chloroplast is the cell organelle responsible for photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll

1. Green coloured pigment present in plants.
2. They plays a major role in photosynthesis by absorbing sunlight.

Photosynthesis

1. The process by which plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to synthesise oxygen and energy.
2. In this process, light energy is converted into chemical energy.

Final answer:

The cell organelle responsible for photosynthesis is chloroplast.
