Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which plant structure is extremely necessary for photosynthesis to take place?
A
leaves
B
flower petals
C
anthers
D
pistils
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary cellular structures that ensure photosynthesis takes place are chloroplasts, thylakoids and chlorophyll. Photosynthesis takes place inside the chloroplasts that sit in the mesophyll of the leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-3: -In plants, the process of photosynthesis takes place in the mesophyll of the leaves, inside the chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-4: -You should notice that the vast majority of chloroplasts are found in the cells of the mesophyll. Even more specifically, the palisade layer has the most chloroplasts, so the greatest amount of photosynthesis occurs in that leaf layer.

Detailed explanation-5: -Leaves are designed and adapted to allow photosynthesis to take place. They are flat and broad to capture as much of the light energy from the Sun as possible. They also contain lots of tiny holes called stomata which allow for the absorption of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen.
