Chloroplast.

Explanation:

The chloroplast absorbs energy from the sun's photons, which it uses in combination with the raw materials of water and carbon dioxide to make glucose.

Glucose is used to store energy for various reactions and can be polymerised into starch which supports the cells structure.

Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells. The chlorophyll (a fluid contained in them) is what turns the plants green.
