In which part of a plant cell does photosynthesis take place?
A
Chloroplast
B
Nucleus
C
Cytoplasm
D
Ribosome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll. Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane and contain a third inner membrane, called the thylakoid membrane, that forms long folds within the organelle.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Answer: Solution 9: 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis. This overview of photosynthesis shows the light-dependent reaction taking place in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast and the Calvin cycle taking place in the stroma of the chloroplast.
