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 primarily takes place in green leaves, but it also takes place in other green parts of the plant such as green stems and green branches.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is the role of leaves in photosynthesis? The broad surface area of leaves allows for enhanced absorption of sunlight. Moreover, numerous pores, called stomata, allow easy gaseous exchange. Therefore, leaves act as the primary location for photosynthesis.
