Where photosynthesis happens
A
chloroplast
B
nucleus
C
mitochondria
D
None of the above
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: -The light reaction of photosynthesis occurs in the presence of light which results in photolysis of water and it occurs in the grana of the chloroplast. Photosystems are present in the grana which are involved in the light reaction. ATP produced during light reaction is used up in the dark reaction of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts produce energy through photosynthesis and oxygen-release processes, which sustain plant growth and crop yield. As such, chloroplasts are responsible for the biosynthesis of active compounds such as amino acids, phytohormones, nucleotides, vitamins, lipids, and secondary metabolites [9].
