The major organelle for photosynthesis is the chloroplast. It contains chlorophyll, the pigment that captures sunlight, and is where the process of converting light energy into chemical energy (glucose) occurs.
The chloroplasts in plant cells take energy from the sun and in a series of reactions, stores it in glucose.
No, a chloroplast is not an organ. It is a specialized organelle found in plant and algae cells that is responsible for photosynthesis, the process of converting light energy into chemical energy to produce sugars. Organs are made up of tissues and perform specific functions within an organism's body.
The chloroplasts are in the mesophyll layer of the plant

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts.
A membrane-bounded organelle with chlorophyll containing membranous thylakoids where photosynthesis takes place is called chloroplast. A green pigment that absorbs solar energy and is important in algae and plant photosynthesis is chlorophyll.
The organelle is the chloroplast. Also note that sunlight is a form of energy, so it does not have to be turned into energy, but it does get turned into a form of energy that is biologically useful, which is chemical energy rather than electromagnetic radiation.
