  1. {"135 WHERE DOES PHOTOSYNTHESIS TAKE PLACE?","196 WHERE DOES PHOTOSYNTHESIS TAKE PLACE? pou would of course answer: in 'the green leaf or in the chloroplasts', bast on what you earlier read in Chapter 8 . You are definitely right. pho losynthesis does take place in the green leaves of plants but it does so aleq in other green parts of the plants. Can you name some other parts","You would recollect from previous unit that the mesophyll cells in the themselves along the walls of the mesophyll cells, such that they get the optimum quantity of the incident light. When do you think the chloroplasts will be aligned with their flat surfaces parallel to the walls? no n","When have studied the structure of chloroplast in Chapter 8 . Within You have studied the structure of chloroplast in Chapter 8 . Within chloroplast there is membranous system consisting of grana, the the chioroplast there is membranous system consisting of grana, the stroma lamellae, and the matrix stroma (Figure 13.2). There is a clear division of labour within the chloroplast. The membrane system is responsible for trapping the light energy and also for the synthesis of ATP and NADPH. In stroma, enzymatic reactions synthesise sugar, which in turn forms starch The former set of reactions, since they are directly light driven are called light reactions (photochemical reactions). (The latter are not directly light driven but are dependent on the products of light reactions (ATP and NADPH). Hence, to distinguish the latter they are called, by conventiof, as dark reactions (carbon reactions). However, this should not be constued to mean that they occur in darkness or that they are not light-dependent."}
