Multiple Choice
In eukaryotic plant cells, photosynthesis primarily takes place 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 plants convert light energy into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen.
Recognize that chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll, which captures light energy necessary for photosynthesis.
Conclude that the organelle responsible for photosynthesis in eukaryotic plant cells is the chloroplast.
