Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ____ is the most photosynthetic part of a plant.
A
leaf
B
flower
C
roots
D
stem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cells in the mesophyll of the leaf have numerous chloroplasts. In leaves, cells in the mesophyll (the tissue between the upper and lower epidermis) are uniquely suited to carry out photosynthesis on a large scale. This is due to their high concentration of chloroplasts, which are the sites of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Although all the green parts of a plant can carry out photosynthesis, it mainly occurs in the leaves due to the high abundance of chloroplasts. A chloroplast contains stroma, fluid, and stack of thylakoids called grana.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color, and it helps plants create their own food through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Maize, sugar cane, and sorghum are C4 plants. These plants are economically important in part because of their relatively high photosynthetic efficiencies compared to many other crops.
