Example Question #3 : Mitochondria And Chloroplasts

Where do the light reactions take place in the chloroplast?

Possible Answers:

The intermembrane space

The outer membrane

The thylakoid membrane

The stroma

Correct answer:

The thylakoid membrane

Explanation:

The chloroplast has a very simular structure to the mitochondrion, as it is a double-membraned organelle. The chloroplast is used to house the processes of photosynthesis. The light reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane, while the light independent reactions take place in the stroma.
