In photosynthesis, the light-independent reactions take place at

  1. photosystem II
  2. stromal matrix
  3. thylakoid lumen
  4. photosystem I.

Answer

(2) stromal matrix

Solution

As per NCERT, the membrane system (grana/thylakoids) is responsible for trapping light energy and for the synthesis of ATP and NADPH, while in the stroma enzymatic reactions synthesise sugar.

⇒ The light-independent (biosynthetic / dark) reactions, i.e., the Calvin cycle, take place in the stromal matrix.

Answer: (2)
