The cell organelle known as the kitchen of the cell is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and are responsible for the process of photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. This process is essential for the plant’s energy production and food-making, similar to how a kitchen serves the purpose of preparing meals in a household.
Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll, which captures light energy, making them vital for harnessing energy from sunlight. Without chloroplasts, plants would not be able to produce their own food, affecting the entire ecosystem as they form the base of the food chain.
