The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Location of Reactions**: In green leaves, both light and dark reactions of photosynthesis occur in the chloroplasts. 2. **Light Reactions**: The light reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts, specifically within structures called Grana. Grana contain chlorophyll and are responsible for capturing light energy. 3. **Dark Reactions**: The dark reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts. The stroma is the fluid-filled space surrounding the Grana and is where the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose happens. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the light reactions occur in the Grana, while the dark reactions occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts. **Final Answer**: In green leaves, the light reactions occur in the Grana, and the dark reactions occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts. ---
