THE CHLOROPLAST

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following biochemical reactions occur in the chloroplasts?
A
Protein synthesis occurs in chloroplasts.
B
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts.
C
Kreb’s cycle occurs in chloroplasts.
D
Cellular respiration occurs in chloroplasts.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Within the chloroplasts of a plant cell, photosynthesis occurs in two main phases: the light-dependent and light-independent reactions.

Detailed explanation-2: -The light-dependent reaction is a photochemical reaction taking place in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, where light energy is transformed into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH).

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O
