Biology Question on Photosynthesis in higher plants

Question

Photochemical phase of photosynthesis occurs in

Answer 1

Solution

The photochemical phase of photosynthesis specifically occurs within the grana of chloroplasts.
Grana are like stacks of tiny pancakes found inside structures called chloroplasts. These stacks are made of layers called thylakoid membranes.
In the grana, there are special pigments like chlorophyll that absorb light energy from the sun. This absorbed light energy is used to start a process that creates energy molecules like ATP and NADPH. These energy molecules are crucial for plants to make food during photosynthesis.
So, in simple terms, the grana are where plants capture sunlight and start turning it into energy they can use.

So, the correct option is (B): Grana
