O Levels Biology (5090)•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
