Dark reaction of photosynthesis takes place in _ of the chloroplast.
Correct answer: D. Stroma
- A. Thylakoids
- B. Grana
- C. Intergrana
- D. Stroma
Explanation
The dark reactions of photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin Cycle or light-independent reactions, take place in the stroma of the chloroplast. The stroma is the fluid-filled region surrounding the thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast. While the light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane, the Calvin Cycle, where carbon dioxide is fixed and converted into carbohydrates, occurs in the stroma.
