Where does photosynthesis take place in a plant?
A
Nuclus
B
cell wall
C
cell membrane
D
chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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, 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-4: -This occurs during the Calvin Cycle in the stroma (the liquid filled inside of the chloroplast). ATP and NADPH consolidate with CO2 and water to make the final result of glucose.
