Green plants use their chlorophyll to capture the energy of sunlight and split water molecules. As they do, they release oxygen into the air. Green plants use energy from the sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air to make sugar. In effect, they create “mass” from “gas.”

Answer:

Chloroplasts are the only part of a cell that do photosynthesis - chloroplasts is only in plant cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chloroplasts are organelles present only in plant cells and algae, in the regions that are illuminated. They are green in color due to the presence of chlorophyll and are responsible for photosynthesis. They can have different shapes and sizes, besides, in the cell there can be only one or a large amount of them, this varies according to the type of plant.

Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, the process responsible for the production of energy and organic substances. In addition, chloroplasts are capable of synthesizing amino acids and lipids, which form their membrane.
