Question

which organelle produces sugars while releasing oxygen, and in which cell could it be found? a the golgi apparatus, which can be found in lung cells of animals b lysosomes, which can be found in all cells of grasses c ribosomes, which can be found in muscle cells of humans d chloroplasts, which can be found in leaf cells of trees

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be d chloroplasts, which can be found in leaf cells of trees.

Chloroplasts are double-membrane cell organelle usually present in leaf cells of a plant.

They are the site of photosynthesis in plants by which plants convert solar energy into sugars. Oxygen is released as the byproduct of the process.

Light reaction of the photosynthesis takes place in the thylakoid membrane. It produces ATP and NADPH and releases oxygen.

Dark reaction takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast in which ATP and NADPH are used to fix carbon (obtained from carbon dioxide) into sugars (glucose).

The overall reaction is:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + solar energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Answer 2

D-chloroplasts, which can be found in leaf cells of tree. Because only chloroplast is the organ which is able to synthesize sugar using light energy, water, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll
