Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Light-dependent and light-independent reactions take place here
A
Chloroplast
B
Mitochondria
C
Both
D
None of the above
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. The chlorophyll in the plants absorb sunlight and transfers to the photosystem which are responsible for photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The light independent process (also called dark reactions or the Calvin-Benson cycle) takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. Carbon dioxide is modified by series of chemical reactions to form carbohydrates. The energy for these reactions comes from ATP and NADPH generated during the light dependent process.
