Detailed explanation-3: -This food-making process takes place in the leaf in numerous cells containing chlorophyll, which gives the leaf its green color.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lamina or leaf blade is the chlorophyll-containing region of the leaf. It is the broad part of the leaf where photosynthesis occurs due to the presence of green pigment chlorophyll in the chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-5: -All leaves contain chlorophyll, but sometimes not all of the leaf has chlorophyll in it. Some leaves have green and white or green and yellow stripes or spots. Only the green bits have chlorophyll and only those bits can make food by photosynthesis.
