Where do the light reactions take place inside a chloroplast?
|
|
stroma
|
|
|
lamellae
|
|
|
chloroplast membrane
|
|
|
thylakoid membrane
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The light reactions take place in the thylakoid. There, water (H2O) is oxidized, and oxygen (O2) is released. The electrons that freed from the water are transferred to ATP and NADPH. The dark reactions then occur outside the thylakoid.
Detailed explanation-2: -This takes place in the thylakoid membranes inside the ‘chloroplast’, an organelle found inside the cells of green tissue. Light provides energy for the chlorophyll molecule that releases electrons.
Detailed explanation-3: -(i) Light reactions occur in grana thylakoids whereas dark reactions occur in stroma of chloroplasts.
