Detailed explanation-1: -In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plants have leaves as specialised organs that capture light energy by photosynthesis. However, photosynthesis is also found in other plant organs. Photosynthesis may be found in the petiole, stems, flowers, fruits, and seeds.
Detailed explanation-3: -The raw materials of photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide, enter the cells of the leaf. Oxygen, a by-product of photosynthesis, and water vapor exit the leaf.
Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis occurs only in the mesophyll layers of plant leaves and, in some instances, in mesophyll cells in the stem. Mesophyll cells are sandwiched between the leaf’s upper and lower epidermis and contain numerous chloroplasts, where photosynthesis takes place.
