Chlorophyll is the location of which process
A
Cellular Respiration
B
Photosynthesis
C
Glucose Production
D
Digestion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll is located in a plant’s chloroplasts, which are tiny structures in a plant’s cells. This is where photosynthesis takes place.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis: The Basics Photosynthesis takes place inside the chloroplasts that sit in the mesophyll of the leaves. The thylakoids sit inside the chloroplast and they contain chlorophyll which absorbs the different colours of the light spectrum to create energy (Source: Biology: LibreTexts).

Detailed explanation-3: -In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll. Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane and contain a third inner membrane, called the thylakoid membrane, that forms long folds within the organelle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthetic pigments, such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids, are light-harvesting molecules found in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chlorophyll is located in the thylakoid membranes in the chloroplasts, organized in a photosystem in the form of an antenna complex. In addition, they are also found in the space between the thylakoid and the chloroplast membranes referred to as the stroma.
