In a plant cell, the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place in the:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast
- Step 1: Chlorophyll sits in the thylakoid membranes of the grana.
- Step 2: There light energy splits water, releasing oxygen and forming ATP and NADPH.
Answer
thylakoid membranes.
Why not the others: The stroma hosts the Calvin cycle; cristae are in mitochondria; glycolysis is a respiration pathway in the cytosol.
