Where 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. The immediate products of photosynthesis, NADPH and ATP, are used by the photosynthetic cells to produce many organic molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -This occurs during the Calvin Cycle in the stroma (the liquid filled inside of the chloroplast). ATP and NADPH consolidate with CO2 and water to make the final result of glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are found in plant cells only because chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which is essential for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll traps sunlight and uses it to prepare food for plants by the process of photosynthesis.
