The oval-shaped organelle in plant cells is typically the chloroplast. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, allowing plants to convert sunlight into energy by synthesizing glucose from carbon dioxide and water. They contain chlorophyll, the pigment that gives plants their green color and plays a crucial role in capturing light energy. Chloroplasts are unique to plant cells and some algae, distinguishing them from animal cells.
