Refer to the accompanying figure.Plant cells that contain the organelle responsible for photosynthesis are concentrated in cells of the ______. 
A) roots 
B) leaves 
C) stomata 
D) grana

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plant cells that contain the organelle responsible for photosynthesis are concentrated in the leaves, specifically in the chloroplasts found in the mesophyll cells of the leaf. The grana are the internal membrane system of the chloroplasts that contain the pigments and enzymes responsible for photosynthesis. Roots do not contain the necessary chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and stomata are small pores on the surface of leaves that regulate gas exchange, but do not contain chloroplasts.
