THE CHLOROPLAST

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What organelle(s) would say this:“Glucose production would happen inside of me.”
A
mitochondrion only
B
chloroplast only
C
both mitochondrion and chloroplast
D
neither mitochondrion nor chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Inside the chloroplasts within leaves, light, water (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2) are transformed into energy and sugar (glucose). Using water, sunlight is converted into energy-storing molecules within the plant cells. The energy from these molecules is then used to create glucose from CO2.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Glucose is produces in the chloroplast of a cell. The chloroplast is an organelle that is located in the plant cell and uses the process of photosynthesis to produce glucose. It does it by taking sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide and making glucose and oxygen out of the ingredients.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a plant cell, chloroplast makes sugar during the process of photosynthesis converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. In mitochondria, through the process of cellular respiration breaks down sugar into energy that plant cells can use to live and grow.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
