The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The chloroplasts are the most common type of plastids and are of prime biological importance as they practically provide food to all organisms through photosynthesis. Chlorophyll are the pigments located on thylakoid membranes of chloroplast and take part in absorption of light energy to carryout the process of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis in Higher Plants

Processes Of Photosynthesis in Higher Plants:

Photosynthesis in higher plants involves the following processes:

  • Light Reaction
  • Dark Reaction

Light Reaction:

  • This phenomenon occurs in the presence of light.
  • The pigment absorbs light and produces energy in the form of ATP.
  • The process involves- absorption of light, water splitting, the release of oxygen, and formation of ATP and NADPH.

Dark Reaction:

This process occurs in the absence of light in the stroma of the chloroplasts. The following cycles are involved in the process:

  1. Calvin Cycle (C3 Cycle)
  2. C4 Cycle (Hatch and Slack Pathway)
