Question

where does photosynthesis generally occur? in the cytoplasm in the mitochondria in the nucleus in the chloroplast

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy. Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that contain chlorophyll, the pigment that captures light energy. The light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, and the light - independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma of chloroplasts.
Cytoplasm is the jelly - like substance within the cell where many metabolic reactions occur, but not photosynthesis. Mitochondria are the site of cellular respiration. The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material.

Answer:

In the chloroplast
