which organelle in the plant cell shown above converts solar energy into
chemical energy?
chloroplast
mitochondrion
vacuole
cell wall

Explanation:

To determine which organelle converts solar energy to chemical energy, we analyze each option:

• Chloroplast: In plant cells, chloroplasts perform photosynthesis, which captures solar energy and converts it into chemical energy (stored in glucose).
• Mitochondrion: Converts chemical energy from food into ATP (cellular energy), not solar energy.
• Vacuole: Stores water, nutrients, or waste; no energy conversion related to solar energy.
• Cell wall: Provides structure and support; no energy conversion function.

Thus, chloroplast is the correct organelle.

Answer:

A. chloroplast
