The organelle that allows plant cells to make their own food is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures sunlight during photosynthesis. Through photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.
The organelle that allows plant cells to make their own food is called the chloroplasts. These are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. Inside the chloroplasts, there are chlorophyll pigments that absorb sunlight and initiate the chemical reactions necessary for photosynthesis.
