Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis primarily takes place in the specilised structures called chloroplasts that have chlorophyll present in them. It is the chlorophyll that absorbs light energy from the sun. The leaves contain majority of the chloroplast which absorbs sunlight for the process of photosynthesis to take place.
Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis: The Basics Photosynthesis takes place inside the chloroplasts that sit in the mesophyll of the leaves.
