The correct answer is Option (1) – Chloroplast
The part of a plant cell that traps sunlight to make sugar is the chloroplast.
Explanation:
- Chloroplasts are membrane-bound organelles found in the cells of green plants and algae.Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs sunlight during the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the biochemical process where sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar), releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
- Chromoplast: Contains carotene and xanthophylls. They impart a specific colour to flowers and fruits and help in pollination and dispersal of seeds.
- Leucoplast: They are colourless and store various food products, e.g. amyloplasts- store starch, proteinoplasts or aleuroplasts- store proteins, elaioplasts- store fat.
