Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where do the light reactions take place inside a chloroplast?
A
stroma
B
lamellae
C
chloroplast membrane
D
thylakoid membrane
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: -In plants, the light reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of organelles called chloroplasts. Photosystems, large complexes of proteins and pigments (light-absorbing molecules) that are optimized to harvest light, play a key role in the light reactions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The chloroplast is involved in both stages of photosynthesis. The light reaction takes place in the thylakoid discs.

Detailed explanation-4: -The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place within the thylakoids. These reactions occur when the pigment chlorophyll, located within the thylakoid membranes, captures energy from the sun (photons) to initiate the breakdown of water molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the light-dependent reactions, which take place at the thylakoid membrane, chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight and then converts it into chemical energy with the use of water. The light-dependent reactions release oxygen as a byproduct as water is broken apart.
