Question

Which statement best describes this role of plastids in the plant cell?

A) Chloroplasts transform chemical energy into electromagnetic energy.
B) Mitochondria transform light energy into chemical energy.
C) Chloroplasts transform light energy into chemical energy.
D) Mitochondria transform chemical energy into electromagnetic energy.

Answer 1

C. Chloroplasts transform light energy into chemical energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A) Chloroplasts transform light energy into chemical energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chloroplasts are plastids, cellular organelles inherent in plant cells, which contain a green pigment, chlorophyll, by which they perform photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is a process in which, with the help of chlorophyll, solar energy is converted into chemical energy in order to use that chemical energy (ATP) for the synthesis of organic matter from inorganic matter (CO2 and H2O).
