D
Mitochondria
Verified step by step guidance
1
Begin by understanding the process of photosynthesis, which is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by organisms.
Recognize that in plants and algae, photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, which contain thylakoids where the light-dependent reactions take place.
In some bacteria, photosynthesis is carried out by structures similar to thylakoids, which are membrane-bound compartments that facilitate the light-dependent reactions.
Identify that chloroplasts are not present in bacteria; instead, these bacteria have thylakoid-like structures that perform photosynthesis.
Eliminate ribosomes and mitochondria as they are not involved in photosynthesis. Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis, and mitochondria are involved in cellular respiration.
