Photosynthesis takes place in the:

Answer: Chloroplast.

  • A Mitochondria
  • B Ribosome
  • C Chloroplast
  • D Nucleus

Correct answer: C. Chloroplast

Explanation: Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, specifically in the thylakoid membranes (light reactions) and stroma (dark reactions).

Photosynthesis: Inputs and OutputschloroplastLeaf cellSunlightCO2H2OO2Glucose

Simplified photosynthesis diagram: light energy, CO2, and H2O enter the leaf and are converted in the chloroplast into glucose and O2.

Concept context

Light reactions, the Calvin cycle, C 3 /C 4 /CAM pathways, photorespiration, and factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis. One of the highest-yield NEET chapters.
