Which part of the plant turns sunlight into food?

Answer 1

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosysnthesis . Chloroplasts absorb light and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide to produce sugars, the raw material for energy and biomass production in all green plants and the animals that depend on them, directly or indirectly, for food. Chloroplasts capture light energy to conserve free energy in the form of ATP and reduce NADP to NADPH through a complex set of processes called photosynthesis. The word chloroplast is derived from the Greek words chloros which means green and plast which means form or entity. Chloroplasts are members of a class of organelles known as plastids. Plants absorb light primarily using the pigment chlorophyll, which is the reason that most plants have a green color. Besides chlorophyll plants also use pigments such as carotenes and xanthophylls. Algae also use chlorophyll, but various other pigments are present as phycocyanin, carotenes, and xanthophylls in green algae, phycoerythrin in red algae (rhodophytes) and fucoxanthol in brown algae and diatoms resulting in a wide variety of colors.

Answer 2

The chloroplasts in the cell help change the light energy to chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis. The energy is stored in molecules of food called glucose, or sugar.

In one word, your answer is the Chloroplasts

I really hope this helps!
