In the chloroplasts of plant cells, the absorption of light energy and the movement of electrons along an electron transport chain occur in the _, and the synthesis of carbohydrates takes place in the _

Plant cells like other autotrophs undergo the unique process of photosynthesis in their CHLOROPLAST. Photosynthesis, which comprises of two stages (light stage and light-independent stage) occurs in different parts of the CHLOROPLAST. The light stage which involves activation of the CHLOROPHYLL molecule and formation of a proton pump that generates ATP and reduction of NADP+ to NADPH occurs specifically in the THYLAKOID MEMBRANE.

After the ATP and NADPH have been generated in the light stage, they move into the matrix of the CHLOROPLAST called STROMA, where they are used in a series of reaction to produce carbohydrate (glucose) from CO2 and and its acceptor called Ribulosebiphosphate (RUBP).
