The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Chloroplast Structure**: - Chloroplasts are double-membraned organelles found in plant cells. They contain chlorophyll, the green pigment essential for photosynthesis. 2. **Membrane System of Chloroplast**: - The chloroplast consists of thylakoids (stacks of membranes called grana) and stroma (the fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids). 3. **Photosynthesis Process**: - Photosynthesis occurs in two main stages: the light reactions and the dark reactions (Calvin cycle). - The light reactions take place in the thylakoids, where light energy is captured and converted into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH). - The dark reactions occur in the stroma, where ATP and NADPH are used to fix carbon dioxide and synthesize sugars. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: Trapping light energy - This is directly involved in the light reactions occurring in the thylakoids. - **Option B**: Synthesis of ATP and NADPH - This is also a direct result of the light reactions in the thylakoids. - **Option C**: Enzymatic reaction for synthesis of sugar - This occurs in the stroma during the dark reactions, which do not involve the thylakoid membrane system directly. 5. **Conclusion**: - The membrane system of chloroplasts (thylakoids) is not directly involved in the enzymatic reactions for the synthesis of sugar, which occur in the stroma. **Final Answer**: The membrane system of chloroplast is not directly involved in the enzymatic reaction for the synthesis of sugar. ---
