In plant cells, where does photosynthesis primarily take place?
A
Mitochondria
B
Ribosomes
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Chloroplasts
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
Recall that photosynthesis primarily occurs in specialized organelles within plant cells called chloroplasts.
Recognize that mitochondria are involved in cellular respiration, not photosynthesis.
Know that ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, and the Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins, so neither is the site of photosynthesis.
Conclude that chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll, which captures light energy, making them the primary location for photosynthesis in plant cells.
