Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis consists of both light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions. In plants, the so-called “light” reactions occur within the chloroplast thylakoids, where the aforementioned chlorophyll pigments reside.
Detailed explanation-2: -In plants, leaves prepare their food by utilizing water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight by a process called photosynthesis. Hence, photosynthesis takes place in leaves.
Detailed explanation-3: -Light-dependent reactions happen in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts and occur in the presence of sunlight. The sunlight is converted to chemical energy during these reactions. The chlorophyll in the plants absorb sunlight and transfers to the photosystem which are responsible for photosynthesis.
