the light - dependent reactions occur in the _____________ and the calvin cycle reactions occur in the _____________.
chlorophyll pigments; central vacuoles
stroma; thylakoid membranes
thylakoid membranes; stroma
cytoplasm; mitochondria
chloroplast membranes; cytoplasm

Explanation:

• Light - dependent reactions: These reactions require light and occur in the thylakoid membranes. Chlorophyll and other pigments in the thylakoid membranes capture light energy.
• Calvin cycle: Also known as the light - independent reactions. It does not directly require light. It occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast. The stroma is the fluid - filled space surrounding the thylakoid membranes.

Answer:

C. thylakoid membranes; stroma
