Question

In the chloroplasts of plant cells, the absorption of light energy and the movement of electrons along an electron transport chain occur in the _____, and the synthesis of carbohydrates takes place in the _____. thylakoids; stromainner membrane; matrixinner membrane; stromathylakoids; matrixinner membrane; cytoplasm

Answer 1

The correct answer is "thylakoids; stroma".

Step-by-step explanation:

The thylakoids are compartments located within the chloroplasts where absorption of light energy and movement of electrons occurs. The thylakoids have multiprotein complexes called photosystems that act as light receptors to perform these processes. On the other hand, the synthesis of carbohydrates occurs in the stroma, a colorless fluid inside of chloroplasts where the final steps of the photosynthesis occurs.
