Multiple Choice
In eukaryotic plant cells, photosynthesis primarily occurs in which organelle?
A
Chloroplast
B
Mitochondrion
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelles listed in the problem: Chloroplast, Mitochondrion, Golgi apparatus, and Rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Recall the primary function of each organelle: Chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis, mitochondria in cellular respiration, Golgi apparatus in protein modification and sorting, and rough endoplasmic reticulum in protein synthesis.
Understand that photosynthesis is the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy stored in glucose, which is a key function in plant cells.
Recognize that chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll, which captures light energy necessary for photosynthesis.
Conclude that among the options, the chloroplast is the organelle where photosynthesis primarily occurs in eukaryotic plant cells.
