Plant cells synthesize sugar in the;
Correct answer: C. Stroma
- A. Thylakoid
- B. Grana
- C. Stroma
- D. Christa
Explanation
Plant cells synthesize sugar in the stroma of chloroplasts. The stroma contains the enzymes necessary for the Calvin cycle, which is the process that converts carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. The thylakoids and grana are involved in the light-dependent reactions that produce ATP and NADPH, which are then used in the stroma for sugar synthesis. Christa is unrelated to chloroplasts and pertains to mitochondrial structure.

About Plant Nutrition and Transport
Plants require macronutrients and micronutrients for growth, and mineral deficiencies produce recognizable symptoms. Transport involves water and minerals through xylem by transpiration pull, cohesion and adhesion, while phloem translocates sugars from sources to sinks. Root pressure and transpiration are distinct mechanisms.
