Match the process with its organelle involved: Photosynthesis
Mitochondria
Vacuole
Chloroplast
Lysosome
The correct answer is: Chloroplast
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and some bacteria convert the energy from sunlight into chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates. This process takes place in the chloroplast, an organelle found in plant cells. Option A, the mitochondria, is involved in the process of cellular respiration which converts glucose into ATP for energy. Option B, the vacuole, is primarily responsible for storing and releasing water and nutrients in the cell. Option D, lysosome, is involved in breaking down waste materials in the cell. None of these organelles are involved in photosynthesis. Therefore, C, the chloroplast, is the correct organelle involved in the process of photosynthesis.
