Multiple Choice
In eukaryotic plant cells, photosynthesis primarily occurs in which organelle?
A
Golgi apparatus
B
Chloroplast
C
Mitochondrion
D
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelles listed in the problem: Golgi apparatus, Chloroplast, Mitochondrion, and Rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Recall the primary function of each organelle: Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying and packaging proteins; Mitochondrion is the site of cellular respiration; Rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis.
Understand that photosynthesis is the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.
Recognize that in plant cells, photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast, an organelle containing the pigment chlorophyll which captures light energy.
Conclude that among the options, the chloroplast is the organelle where photosynthesis primarily takes place in eukaryotic plant cells.
