Question

which organelles does photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur? simple explanation is fine

Explanation / Answer

Photosynthesis: CO2 +H2O + Light Energy ----> O2 + carbohydrate Photsynthesis takes place in plants cells and in some bacteria. It takes place in the chloroplasts, which are little green circles of pigment. The light reactions take place in the chloroplast's thylakoids and the dark reactions take place in the stroma. The light reactions reduce water into oxygen and the dark reactions convert CO2 into energy. Respiration: O2 + carbohydrate -----> CO2 + H20 + energy CELL RESPIRATION OCCURS IN THE MITOCHONDRIA!!!!!!!
