The chloroplast is where photosynthesis occurs. There are structures inside the chloroplast called thylakoids. These thylakoids are membranes with special proteins on them that carry out the light reactions of photosynthesis. These membranes are stacked (these stacks are called grana) in order to increase their surface area for the light reactions. The light reactions are responsible for producing NADPH and ATP which will be used for the Calvin cycle. Between the membranes of the chloroplasts and the thylakoid membrane lies the stroma. Here is where the Calvin cycle takes place. It is responsible for producing glucose from a series of chemical reactions. Essentially, the chloroplast is responsible for carrying out photosynthesis which converts light energy into usable chemical energy for most life on Earth.

What are the roles of chloroplast and chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
The role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis is the absorption of light allowing the plant to obtain energy from the light. Chloroplasts are the organelles in the plant that store the chlorophyll.
What is the site of photosynthesis in green plants?
The site of photosynthesis in a plant cell is chloroplast.
What is the organelle that functions in photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplast, generally storage granules or vesicles does the nutrient storage function.
Organ of the plant body performs photosynthesis?
WE call it chloroplast. That is where photosynthesis is happening.
What undergoes photosynthesis?
CHLOROPLAST
What are the roles of chloroplast and chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
The role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis is the absorption of light allowing the plant to obtain energy from the light. Chloroplasts are the organelles in the plant that store the chlorophyll.
What do chloroplast's do?
Chloroplast perform photosynthesis.
Where in eukaryotic cells does photosynthesis occur?
The chloroplast is the organelle responsible for photosynthesis.
How do stomata and chloroplast play vital roles in photosynthetic activities of plants?
The light reactions in photosynthesis occur in the grana and the dark reactions take place in the stroma of the chloroplast without chloroplast , the dark reactions can't occurSONRY_26
How is photosynthesis possible in bacterial cells when there are no chloroplast in the cell?
it not possible, because it has no chloroplast. So no chloroplast equals no photosynthesis.
What is the organelles of plants where photosynthesis occurs?
chloroplast
What is a organelle that conducts photosynthesis?
chloroplast
In what organelle does photosynthesis occur?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts.
What is the site of photosynthesis in green plants?
The site of photosynthesis in a plant cell is chloroplast.
Which organelles must be present within a cell of a geranium leaf for respiration and photosynthesis?
a chloroplast, which captures sunlight for photosynthesis
What organelle is vital to photosynthesis?
This organelle is called the chloroplast.
What is the organelle that functions in photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplast, generally storage granules or vesicles does the nutrient storage function.
