The plant organelle that uses light energy to make food

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to cook a meal in a kitchen with no electricity, relying solely on sunlight streaming through the window. This situation is similar to how a plant uses chloroplasts to harness sunlight to produce food. Just as you would use sunlight to illuminate your space and prepare your ingredients, chloroplasts capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis, effectively acting as the plant's kitchen where sunlight is the primary ingredient in creating sustenance.
