Question
which macromolecule is synthesized in the chloroplast?
amino acid
protein
carbohydrate
lipid
Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose (a type of carbohydrate) and oxygen. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are synthesized in various cellular locations but not specifically in chloroplasts for the main macromolecule synthesis related to photosynthesis. Proteins are synthesized in ribosomes (often associated with the endoplasmic reticulum). Lipids are synthesized in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
