The Site in a Photosynthetic Eukaryotic Cell Where Photosynthesis Occurs

Question

The site in a photosynthetic eukaryotic cell where photosynthesis occurs is the
A) nucleus.
B) carotenoid.
C) mitochondria.
D) chloroplast.
E) Golgi.

Accepted Answer

Chloroplasts are the organelles in photosynthetic eukaryotic cells where photosynthesis occurs. The other organelles listed (nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi) have other functions in the cell, but are not directly involved in photosynthesis. Carotenoids are pigments that are involved in photosynthesis, but they do not represent the site where photosynthesis occurs.
