O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/11/M/J/18
Question 1 from 5090/11/M/J/18

Explanation

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts of palisade cells

Steps:

  • Palisade cells are specialized leaf cells optimized for light absorption.
  • Photosynthesis requires chlorophyll-containing organelles to capture light energy.
  • Examine the diagram labels to match structures with functions.
  • Select the label indicating green, disc-shaped organelles.

Why B is correct:

  • Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis, containing thylakoids where light-dependent reactions occur, as defined by plant cell biology.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A: Cell wall provides structural support, not photosynthesis.
  • C: Nucleus controls cell activities but lacks photosynthetic machinery.
  • D: Vacuole stores water and nutrients, unrelated to light energy conversion.

Final answer: B

Topic: Photosynthesis
