PHOTOSYNTHESIS

THE CHLOROPLAST

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Carbon dioxide is used as a reactant here
A
Chloroplast
B
Mitochondria
C
Both
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In plants, carbon dioxide (CO2) enters the chloroplast through the stomata and diffuses into the stroma of the chloroplast-the site of the Calvin cycle reactions where sugar is synthesized. The reactions are named after the scientist who discovered them, and reference the fact that the reactions function as a cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Within these cells, organelles called chloroplasts use the carbon dioxide and water to carry out photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the Sun to make sugar molecules and oxygen. These sugar molecules are the basis for more complex molecules made by the photosynthetic cell, such as glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water and carbon dioxide are two reactants required for photosynthesis that occurs in chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
