Cell Type	Nucleus	Mitochondria	Cell Wall	Cell Membrane	Chloroplast
1 2 3 4	yes yes yes no	yes yes yes no	no yes yes yes	yes yes yes yes	no yes no no

Which cell type will undergo the process of photosynthesis?

• A. Cell 1 only
• B. Cell 2 only
• C. Cell 2 and 3 only
• D. Cell 3 only
• E. Cell 3 and 4 only

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Cell 2 only

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are the green coloured plastids which contains various pigments necessary for photosynthesis.

Since only cell 2 has the chloroplast, so it will undergo the process of photosynthesis.

So, the correct answer is 'Cell 2 only'.
