In which eukaryotic organelles does photosynthesis occur?
A
mitochondria
B
stomata
C
xylem
D
chloroplast
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -On the cellular level, the reactions for photosynthesis occur in organelles called chloroplasts (in eukaryotic cells).

Detailed explanation-3: -The chloroplast contains a green pigment called chlorophyll which is very essential for photosynthesis. The cell organelle in which photosynthesis takes place is plastids. Plastids are double membrane-bound organelle that has their DNA and acts as a semi-autonomous organelle.

Detailed explanation-4: -In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes.
