Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In what organelle of plant cells does photosynthesis occur?
A
mitochondria
B
centrioles
C
chloroplast
D
ribosomes
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: -Photosynthesis takes place in the plastids of a cell, also called a chloroplast. The chloroplast contains a green pigment called chlorophyll which is very essential for photosynthesis. The cell organelle in which photosynthesis takes place is plastids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, whereas cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Photosynthesis makes glucose and oxygen, which are then used as the starting products for cellular respiration.
