In Which Organelle of the Plant Does Photosynthesis Takes Place

Question

In which organelle of the plant does photosynthesis takes place?
A)grana
B)mesophyll
C)thylakoid membrane
D)mitochondria
E)chloroplast

Accepted Answer

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts, which are organelles found in plant cells. The other choices, such as grana and thylakoid membrane, are components of the chloroplasts where photosynthesis occurs. The mesophyll is a layer of cells in the leaf where photosynthesis occurs, but it is not an organelle. Mitochondria are organelles responsible for cellular respiration, not photosynthesis.
