Solution
The correct answer is chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs. They contain the molecular "machinery" to convert light energy into chemical energy, specifically in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This process involves the absorption of light by chlorophyll, a pigment located within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts.
