|
Where does photosynthesis happen?
|
|
cells in the leaf act like nature’s solar panels to collect light
|
|
|
chloroplasts are structures (aka organelles) inside the leaf cells where photosynthesis occurs
|
|
|
cholorphyll pigment inside the chloroplast absorbs light
|
|
|
all of these answers are correct descriptions of where photosynthesis occurs
|
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: -Chloroplast is the organelle in plant cells which is the site for photosynthesis.
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.
