The process taking place at X is
a
respiration.
b
nitrogen fixation.
c
photosynthesis.
d
carbon fixing.
c) photosynthesis
Based on the picture, the process taking place at the green structure labeled X is photosynthesis. Therefore, the correct answer is c) photosynthesis.
To determine the process taking place at structure X in the given picture, we can analyze the characteristics of the structure and its surroundings.
From the image description, it is mentioned that the green structure is labeled as X. Additionally, the options given are related to different biological processes.
To identify the correct process, we can observe that the green structure is present within plant cells. This suggests that it is likely involved in a process specific to plants.
Among the given options, the process that is primarily associated with plants is photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (stored energy) and release oxygen as a byproduct. It occurs in specialized organelles called chloroplasts, which contain a green pigment called chlorophyll.
Therefore, based on the information provided and the context of plant cells, the correct answer would be option c) photosynthesis.
