The statement that best describe this role in the plant cell is: B. Chloroplasts transform light energy into chemical energy.
What is the diagram about?
The diagram shows sunlight entering the plant cell and interacting with structures within a plastid, specifically the thylakoids. Thylakoids are the membranes within chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy.
The captured light energy is then used by chloroplasts to drive the process of photosynthesis, which converts light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose and ATP.
Therefore, the diagram depicts the role of chloroplasts in transforming light energy into chemical energy, making option b the most accurate description.
Complete question:
The diagram shows an energy transformation that typically occurs in plant cell plastids. Which statement best describes this role of plastids in the plant cell?
a. Mitochondria transform light energy into chemical energy.
b. Chloroplasts transform light energy into chemical energy
c. Chloroplasts transform chemical energy into electromagnetic energy.
d. Mitochondria transform chemical energy into electromagnetic energy
