In plant and algal cells, photosynthesis occurs inside which organelle?
A
Mitochondrion
B
Chloroplast
C
Nucleus
D
Lysosome
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelle responsible for photosynthesis in plant and algal cells. Photosynthesis is the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy.
Recall that photosynthesis occurs in an organelle that contains pigments like chlorophyll, which capture light energy.
Understand that mitochondria are involved in cellular respiration, not photosynthesis, and the nucleus contains genetic material, while lysosomes are involved in digestion.
Recognize that chloroplasts are the organelles that contain chlorophyll and are the site of photosynthesis in plant and algal cells.
Conclude that the correct organelle where photosynthesis occurs is the chloroplast.
