  • Chloroplasts: The Powerhouse of Photosynthesis - How They Work
    The organelle that allows for photosynthesis to take place is the chloroplast.

    Here's why:

    * Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll: This green pigment is essential for capturing light energy from the sun.

    * They have a complex internal structure: This includes thylakoid membranes where light-dependent reactions occur and the stroma where the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions) happens.
