Question

Name the part of the chloroplast where the light reaction of photosynthesis takes place.

Answer 1

1. Photosynthesis is the process of synthesizing glucose by using carbon dioxide and water as the raw materials in the presence of sunlight.
2. Photosynthesis occurs in two phases light and dark reactions.
3. The light reaction is light-dependent and occurs in the green pigment of chloroplast called chlorophyll.
4. Chlorophyll absorbs the sunlight and uses it for the photolysis of water molecules.
5. Dark reaction is light-independent and involves the reduction of carbon dioxide to form glucose.
