Question

The pigment molecules responsible for photosynthesis are located in the ______.

• A. mitochondria
• B. cytoplasm of the cell
• C. stroma of the chloroplast
• D. thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast

Answer 1

The correct option is D

thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast

All the phtotosynthetic machinery responsible for the light-dependent reactions are present in the thylakoid membranes, forming the grana. Therefore the pigment molecules which form the light harvesting components of photosynthesis are also present here.
