In plant cells, in which organelle does photosynthesis primarily occur?
A
Golgi apparatus
B
Mitochondrion
C
Ribosome
D
Chloroplast
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 an organelle that contains the pigment chlorophyll, which captures light energy.
Identify the organelle responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, which is known for its green color due to chlorophyll.
Eliminate other organelles: Golgi apparatus is involved in protein modification and transport, mitochondrion is the site of cellular respiration, and ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
Conclude that the chloroplast is the organelle where photosynthesis primarily takes place in plant cells.
