Question

in which part of the chloroplast does photosynthesis take place?
a thylakoids
b intermembrane space
c stroma
d cytoplasm

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Photosynthesis occurs in two main stages: the light - dependent reactions and the light - independent reactions (Calvin cycle). The light - dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes (thylakoids) of the chloroplast. The thylakoids contain chlorophyll and other pigments that capture light energy. The light - independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma of the chloroplast. The intermembrane space is not a site of photosynthesis in chloroplasts (it is more relevant in mitochondria). The cytoplasm is outside the chloroplast.

Answer:

a. Thylakoids, c. Stroma
