In the context of organic chemistry, where does the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis primarily occur?
A
In the cytoplasm of plant cells
B
In the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts
C
In the stroma of chloroplasts
D
In the mitochondria of plant cells
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of photosynthesis, which consists of light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).
Recognize that the light-dependent reactions are responsible for converting solar energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
Identify the location of the light-dependent reactions, which occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. These membranes contain chlorophyll and other pigments that capture light energy.
Differentiate between the thylakoid membranes and other parts of the chloroplast, such as the stroma, where the Calvin cycle takes place.
Clarify that the mitochondria are involved in cellular respiration, not photosynthesis, and the cytoplasm is not the site for these reactions in plant cells.
