Question:
In plants, sugar synthesis takes place in
In plants, sugar synthesis takes place in
Show Hint
Remember: Light reactions in grana, dark reactions (sugar synthesis) in stroma.
Updated On: May 12, 2025
- Grana of chloroplast
- Stroma lamella of chloroplast
- Mitochondrial matrix
- Stroma of chloroplast
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Sugar synthesis, also called the Calvin cycle or light-independent reaction, occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast. This process utilizes ATP and NADPH generated in the grana during the light-dependent reactions.
