Where in a plant cell does photosynthesis primarily occur?
A
Mitochondria
B
Chloroplasts
C
Ribosomes
D
Golgi apparatus
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 takes place in specialized organelles within plant cells called chloroplasts.
Recognize that chloroplasts contain pigments like chlorophyll, which capture light energy necessary for photosynthesis.
Note that mitochondria are involved in cellular respiration, not photosynthesis, and ribosomes and Golgi apparatus have different functions related to protein synthesis and processing.
Conclude that the correct location for photosynthesis in plant cells is the chloroplasts.
