The light dependent reaction of photosynthesis occurs in:
Correct answer: C. Thylakoid membrane of chloroplast
- A. Stroma of chloroplast
- B. Guard cells of stomata
- C. Thylakoid membrane of chloroplast
- D. Cytoplasm of leaf cell
Explanation
The correct answer is the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in these membranes, where chlorophyll absorbs light energy. This energy is then converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, which are essential for the subsequent light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) in the stroma.
