Question

Which organisms synthesize carbohydrates, and in which cell organelle(s) does this synthesis occur?

a. animals in mitochondria
b. plants in mitochondria
c. plants in chloroplasts
d. animals and plants in mitochondria
e. animals and plants at ribosomes

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Green Plants are the main producers of starch as carbohydrate.In order to carry out this special organelle Chloroplast are specially adapted for this purpose,

Green plant are made up of Chlorophyll which are the green pigments that for trapping sunlight for the synthesis of starch to occur.

Photosynthesis is the process of synthesis of the starch.It involves the reaction of C02 with water in the presence of sunlight and enzymes to give oxygen as the byproduct, and Starch( carbohydrate) as the main product.

This process occur in two pathways the light dependent pathways and the light independent pathways,

Green plant and some organisms phytoplankons,algea are capable of producing starch through photosynthesis because of the green pigment they possess.Therefore they are said to be Autothrophic.
