The organelle that absorbs energy from sunlight and uses it to make food is the chloroplast.

Here's why:

* Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and some algae. They contain a green pigment called chlorophyll, which is responsible for capturing light energy.

* Photosynthesis is the process by which chloroplasts convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. This glucose serves as food for the plant.

So, chloroplasts are essentially the plant's "solar panels," converting sunlight into usable energy.
