Question
The following table describes some aspects of the two main metabolic functions, photosynthesis and cellular respiration:
Characteristic Photosynthesis Cellular Respiration
Location within cell
Light reactions = thylakoid membrane
Calvin cycle = stroma
Both happen in X of plant cells
Glycolysis = cytoplasm
Kreb’s cycle and electron transport chain = Y
Reactants
Carbon dioxide (CO2),
Water (H2O), and
Solar Energy
Glucose (C6H12O6) and
Oxygen (O2)
Products
Glucose (C6H12O6) and
Oxygen (O2)
Carbon dioxide (CO2),
Water (H2O), and
ATP

The correct answer is:
**X = chloroplasts; Y = mitochondria**
In plant cells, photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts (specifically, the light reactions in the thylakoid membranes and the Calvin cycle in the stroma), while cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria (with glycolysis occurring in the cytoplasm, and the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain occurring in the mitochondria).
