For autotrophs to survive, they must harness the energy from the sun to make their food. In which organelle does this reaction take place and why?
The chloroplast. The light energy from sun gets absorbed and transforms into usable energy for the cell.
The mitochondria. The light energy from the sun gets absorbed and transforms into usable energy for the cell.
The cell wall. All substances, including light, must pass through the wall where it will then become energy for food.
The cell membrane. After passing through the wall, it must also pass-through membrane where it then becomes energy for food.
