Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of a plant cell. Chloroplasts possess chlorophyll, which allow them to absorb energy from sunlight and other elements to start the process of photosynthesis.

It depends on the organism, but for most plants photosynthesis occurs mostly in the leaves of the plant. At a cellular level, photosynthesis takes place on the thylakoid membrane inside the chloroplast (which is located inside a plant cell). Note that some plants (such as cacti) conduct most of their photosynthesis through their stem since their spines are actually heavily modified leaf structures for reducing water loss.
