Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chloroplast is the correct answer because it is an organelle found in plant cells and some protists that absorbs sunlight and uses it to drive the synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water, a process known as photosynthesis. Chloroplasts contain a series of flattened sacs called thylakoids, which are stacked into structures known as grana, resembling stacks of pancakes or pita bread, and are involved in the energy transformations of photosynthesis.
