Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which plant cell organelle is the site of photosynthesis?
A
nucleus
B
mitochondria
C
chloroplast
D
vacuole
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: -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-3: -Photosynthesis occurs within organelles called the chloroplasts that are abundant on the leaf of a plant, giving it its signature green pigment. Of course, the leaf is not the only photosynthetic part of the plant; it’s just where most of it happen most of the time.

Detailed explanation-4: -The site of photosynthesis in plants is the chloroplast. This cell organelle is found in plant cells and contains chlorophyll, a green-coloured pigment.
