The chemical reactions of photosynthesis occur in which cellular organelle?Group of answer choicesChloroplastsMitochondriaRibosomesNucleus

The chemical reactions of photosynthesis occur in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. This process involves two main stages: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions), where carbon dioxide and water are transformed into glucose and oxygen. Mitochondria, on the other hand, are involved in cellular respiration, ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis, and the nucleus contains genetic material and regulates gene expression. Therefore, the correct answer is Chloroplasts.
