The disc-shaped cellular organelles called thykaloids within the chloroplasts contain the chlorophyll, which acts as a catalyst to capture energy from sunlight and use it to form new molecules (carbohydrates) from carbon dioxide and water.

Where most photosynthesis takes place in the leaf?
it happens in the plant cells, i believe in the chloroplast. Also, the most sunlight would hit the top layer of the leaf.
In what part of the plants does photosynthesis occurs in?
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts, which are organelles in the cells of the plant leaf.
What is the site of photosythesis?
leaves.Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts.They contain photosynthetic pigments
What part of the plant does photosynthesis happen?
photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of a plant.

Why are there so many chloroplasts in a leaf?
Leaves are the main sites of photosynthesis, and chloroplasts are the organelles in which photosynthesis takes place.
In which type of tissue does photosynthesis take place in a leaf?
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are organelles found in the cells of plants that conduct photosynthesis.
