Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Organelle in which photosynthesis takes place is ____
A
Chlorophyll
B
mitochondria
C
chloroplast
D
vacuole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In plants and algae, which developed much later, photosynthesis occurs in a specialized intracellular organelle-the chloroplast. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis during the daylight hours. The immediate products of photosynthesis, NADPH and ATP, are used by the photosynthetic cells to produce many organic molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplast is the organelle in plant cells which is the site for photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Solution 9: Chloroplasts are found in plant cells only because chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which is essential for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll traps sunlight and uses it to prepare food for plants by the process of photosynthesis.
