The plant organelle that uses light energy to make food

Real World Example

Imagine trying to cook dinner when the power goes out, and you have to rely on a flashlight to see what you're doing. This situation is similar to how chloroplasts in plants use sunlight to create food. Just as you use the flashlight's light to guide you in preparing your meal in the dark, chloroplasts harness sunlight to power the process of photosynthesis, turning light energy into the chemical energy that fuels the plant, much like how you transform raw ingredients into a meal.
