Where do the light-dependent reactions occur?
|
|
thylakoid membrane
|
|
|
stroma
|
|
|
mesophyll

|
mitochondria

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Light-dependent reactions happen in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts and occur in the presence of sunlight. The sunlight is converted to chemical energy during these reactions.
Detailed explanation-2: -The light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes in the granum (stack of thylakoids), within the chloroplast. Figure: The two stages of photosynthesis: Photosynthesis takes place in two stages: light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).
Detailed explanation-3: -In eukaryotic cells, both the light and dark reactions of photosynthesis occur within chloroplasts-the light reactions in the thylakoid membrane and the dark reactions within the stroma.
