Question

for each of the following processes, identify the part of the chloroplast in which it takes place. light - dependent reactions light - independent reactions suns energy absorbed sugars produced

Explanation:

• Light - dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. These membranes contain chlorophyll and other pigments that absorb light energy.
• Light - independent reactions (Calvin cycle) take place in the stroma of the chloroplast. The stroma is the fluid - filled space inside the chloroplast, outside the thylakoid membranes.
• Absorption of the sun's energy is part of the light - dependent reactions, which occur in the thylakoid membranes.
• Production of sugars is part of the light - independent reactions (Calvin cycle), which occur in the stroma.

Answer:

• Light - dependent reactions: Thylakoid membranes
• Light - independent reactions: Stroma
• Sun's energy absorbed: Thylakoid membranes
• Sugars produced: Stroma
