Question 20 • 41111de1 ECAD Fall 2026 - Q2 - NM-Biology - S1

Which is the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Answer
A
mitochondria
B
stomata
C
stroma
D
thylakoids

Explanation

The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, where chlorophyll captures light energy. The stroma is where the Calvin cycle takes place, while mitochondria and stomata are not sites of these reactions. Therefore, the correct choice is thylakoids.
